New beginnings....

FreePeace

This piece was just posted on my Empowered Recovery discussion group. It came at just the right time for me--I needed it. I thought I would share it with all of you, my friends.

New beginnings....
One of the best things
we can do in our lives is this:
begin again...

Begin to see yourself
as you were when you were the happiest
and strongest you've ever been...

Begin to remember
what worked for you and what worked against you,
and try to recapture the magic again!

Begin to remember
how natural it was when you were a child...
to live a lifetime each day...

Begin to forget the baggage
you have carried with you for years...
the problems that don't matter anymore,
the tears that cried themselves away,
and the worries that are going to wash away
on the shore of tomorrow's "NEW BEGINNINGS"...

Tomorrow tells us it will be there
every new day of our lives;
and if we will be wise we will turn away
from the problems of the past
and give the 'future' and 'ourselves'
a chance to become the "best of friends"...

Sometimes all it takes is a wish...
a wish in the heart...
to let yourself... begin again...

Happy New Year to All!!

I am glad everyone liked it. I did too.

SS:

There are several codependence discussion groups on Yahoo that I have been part of in the past. But I left because they ended up as nothing more than a vehicle for perpetuating codependent behaviors. Some were even cult-like in their approach. They simply would not tolerate anything other than what Codependents-Anonymous or Al-Anon teaches.

I have recently started a discussion group that addresses codependent issues without the rigidity of the above groups. I would love to have you as a member if you would like. Please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EmpoweredRecovery/ for more info.

Take care and Happy New Year to Everyone!

Hi Marilyn,

Freepeace, what is the Empowered Recovery discussion group you talk of? Is it specifically for religion or does it cover recovery from all kinds of emotional traumas?

Empowered Recovery is a program I am currently developing to help non-alcoholics recover from and survive an alcoholic relationship. It very much involves overcoming codependence, which is the reciprocal "sickness" in an alcoholic relationship. It does not involve religion.

It is specifically aimed at the issues and problems associated with alcohol, but is beneficial to those dealing with a drug addict as well.

Codependence is rampant in many relationships, but not all codependent relationships involve alcoholism or drugs. Just many or most of them.

There is more info at http://www.EmpoweredRecovery.com. I am adding more info regularly as I write it.

I am looking for stories of people who have survived alcoholic relationships for my project.

I am not sure what type of emotional trauma you are experiencing, but there may be some discussion groups specific to what you want on Yahoo.

I also have two other websites that may be of interest. One is TruthQuest (address below); the other is at http://www.EmpowerTheSpirit.com, which may be helpful.

Please feel free to email me with any questions or for more info, [email protected].

Hope this helps.

Doug
