Daily Spiritual Help..

[Smoocheiz]

I have been going to regular counceling sessions, which I didn't have too much faith in before because I tried it once and got nothing out of it, but this time around it has been amazing! My councelor handed me this packet with some spiritual help for every day of the month. I'm gonna post the past couple of days because I found it very helpful.

"We should learn not to grow impatient with the slow healing process of time. We should discipline ourselves to recognize that there are many steps to be taken along the highway leading from sorrow to renewed serenity... We should anticipate these stages in our emotional convalescence: unbearable pain, poignant grief, empty days, resistance to consolation, disinterestedness in life, gradually giving way... to the new weaving of a pattern of action and the acceptanve of the irresistible challenge of life."

-Joshua Loth Liebman

Recovery is a process. It is a gradual process, a healing process, and a spiritual process- a journey rather than a destination.
just as codependency takes on a life of its own and is progressive, so recovery progresses. One thing leads to another and things - as well as us - get better.
We can relax, do our part, and let the rest happen.

Today, I will trust this process and this journey that I have undertaken.
