Well, it's good to know I am not the only one worrying about the holidays. The gloomy weather.. Everyone out doing things, shopping. I can't get energy to do hardly anything... I sometimes wonder if I will ever get back my energy. I am over 1 1/2 months now.. No pills... No energy... I am just tired all the time.. I am so tired of it.. Makes me feel sad.. If I could just get some energy.. Thank You Bears Fan..
Just do not give into it! Stay strong and take time!
Oh bear that was a beautiful post! You made me cry!! We do need to remember that right now we are doing something very special for ourselves we are CLEAN! If all we manage to do today is stay clean well then yeah for us! I am ok with that we are giving ourselves and our families so much more by staying clean. :) I am so proud of you bear and thank you thank you thank you for this post!
Amazing! I agree with everything that you just said. You can do this. :)
Wow! You make being clean sound like FUN! I envy and respect you.
Thank you so much mommymarieme this is very important to me to stay clean during these times!
Living clean is so much more fun! No running around like a chicken with my head cut off! No more worrying about running out of pills! No more living life in a lie! love your name!! It is so worth every struggle and every hump we have to get over to be clean and enjoying life for what it truly is again!
Great post as always Bear!!...this time of year is a huge trigger 4 many...my myself included!!...my Dad died 3 days b4 Xmas, so this whole time of year takes me back 2 that!!...& I liked what u said about trying 2 not focus on the energy & put a timeline on it, BC we r all so different...instead just try 2 be whole again!!...love that!!...u r doing AWESOME & I'm so proud of u!!..sending u love & support!!..xxoo ;)
Thank you Teri! You are a huge support of mine and thank you for all you do! love you!
My little Bubble how are you doing? Miss you girl and love you tons! Always thinking and praying for you!
The one thing we all need to remember during the holidays is to NOT overwhelm our brains. Take some time each day for just you. Write your list down of the things that need done and then go thru and prioritize them. This does actually help. We are not superhumans!
Well said Sarah! I totally agree and I am going to do that! Thanks so much for the advice!
Thank you for the post!!! If it wasn't for my feet I would be great!!! I could make myself do more. I think I'll do what you did, get stuff for candies and a bunt cake to send my brother-in-law in Cal. We just lost his wife and I always sent them one about 3 times a year. That will give him a lift and my too. God Bless you
Really really positive, stellar post lil Bear!!!!! Girl, you have a writer floating just under the layers of the "unknown" I call our "obvious psyche". Did you know that about you????
Inspirational sweet Bear! write write write write!!!!! It seems to come with ease....ever thought about doing something with it or do you now?
So, yes, thank you for that. Loved every bit of it, and I adore the place your heart sits right now; light and hopeful.
Always in your corner, keep bangin them down!
Love ya gal!!! xo
hahaha, I forgot to comment on the Holidays!! ya.....the day after xmas, I usually hole up in my room for two days and I never remember much of it after.......oh and the big joke and question around here is......."So when do you think Mom is going to wreck Christmas?"......or........."Mom", "Settle down now, you don't want to wreck Christmas."...hahahahaha God I hate the holidays.!!!! .......but I love you guys. :o}
hugs xo
As time goes by you will all relax more during the holidays. What used to be important is no longer important. Cleaning and cooking takes a back seat as you see the world thru different eyes. Holidays shouldnt be so stressful. It should be a time when families come together.
Yep....Wisdom right there~
I love candy and chocolate!
Thank you all so much! I just let God flow threw what I am thinking! Love you my sweet Spider!
I will send you some! lol
Thank you for ur post. I think at times i do wonder how much longer or should'nt i feel better by now runs through my mind. This is also a the first holiday season for me without my pills. I have to keep focused on myself like u said. Very powerful post and i thank you for that. Bless u!
