Life Is Full
In the days since I have posted life has been very full and very good. Instead of whining and moaning about how miserable I am and what a failure I have been in different aspects of my life I am trying to stay in the day and live in the solution. I have also been working very hard to have goals for each day for homeschooling, work and household stuff. This helps me to concentrate only on the one day and not become so caught up in yesterday's things and tomorrows activities that I become frozen.
My focus is on becoming well. Sober is a wonderful goal and today, by grace I am sober. But I have lived dry for basically 5 years and that was miserable because I wasn't well and I wasn't living a solution.
I have restarted 123 Magicwith my girls as part of the solution. It is a very handy discipline strategy that removes my emotions and overreactions from the situations. It worked a couple of years ago when I did it with only my oldest, but I can be very inconsistent and it fell by the wayside as my disease became worse. So, this is one of my living in the solution things I am doing this week. Since I am not becoming so wrapped up emotionally and in turmoil over the kids being kids my stress the last couple of days has really diminished on the home front.
I made it to a gratitude meeting Monday night with my sponsor. It was just a really good meeting and I was very grateful to be there. I am grateful to just be back in the program. I know it works and I have even known the serenity and peace that comes from working the program. I am so very grateful for that I have been given the gift to come back.
I need to get back to my work project. Before it gets to crazy around here.
Peace,
Amy
