Love ourselves

Question to ask yourself today.

Why do we let people and/or circumstances define us?

I know why... Because it is easy.

My challenge to myself this week was to not let people define me or circumstance. Today our qualifier may be doing well... Tomorrow, they might not be. We shouldn't be revolving our feelings and mood around the qualifier and their merry go round behaviour. We must break the cycle ourselves! If we are sincere with ourselves and stick to who we are (and that doesn't mean 'The _______ of an Alcoholic or drug addict') then it is easier to be ourselves and to love ourselves.

If we can't love ourselves, how can we expect others to?

Love,

Sorry I've been gone so long

Greetings. 

I am sorry I have been away for so long. Part of me wants to tell you I was off doing something cool and exciting, but I cannot lie to the people reading this blog. I have been struggling with life. In particular, with my qualifier, my self belief and my faith. A little after my last message, my qualifier fell back again, and it was at that point I decided I was done (Yes, I have said that before, as we all have)

I needed to take time away from this blog to realize what was important. I needed to get perspective back as to why I started writing this blog in the first place. I wanted to reach out to the very people going through what I was going through. I needed to let people know they were not alone. Before I could continue to do this, I needed to remind myself how far I had come, and that I was not defined by the disease.

In this break I have taken, I have stopped calling myself names (Fat, Ugly, Useless) and I have started to see the positives (if there are any..) of dealing with an addict. In hindsight, I am the person I am today after going through what I did.. and you are too!

Again, I am sorry I dropped off the planet of blogging, but if anything I needed to get my head straight, something that with a bit of time, I have finally been able to do. 

Will post more tomorrow. 

All the love
