Recovery Nation

In the beginning phase of this journey, unsure if I'm doing this correctly...

Primary motivation to recovery is I no longer want to live a lifestyle of relying on other men or romantic (unreal) notions that yield a false sense of self value/happiness. What temporary disguises itself as a high in reality is a major depressant, worse than alcohol. I’m committed to being my real self and having a full understanding, acceptance, forgiveness and living a real life. I’m committed to succeed. My past behavior was NOT normal!! I am actively pursuing my recovery. I am eliminating my addictive patterns and taking responsibility for where my life is headed. I hate the past behavior, the real me is applauded,
1. I have actively committed myself to change. I’m working with several therapists, doing the workshops in Recovery Nation, and attending an intense therapy program. Journaling, committed to daily work and doing things to reenergize and stay positive. I’m reaching out to people I know can help and showing and practicing loving behavior
2. Constantly reminding myself not to allow guilt and shame to impede my commitment. Remind myself I have the tools and awareness now that I never did before.
3. Asking for patience and grace daily

B.
1. to allow my real self to live a purpose driven life
2. to see my true value and embrace the positive contribution to make other’s lives better including my own
3. live with integrity
4. Knowing I am honest will not only free me of negative thoughts about myself it will allow me to have positive behaviors towards others
5. I want people to see and feel good and feel safe in my presence
6. to be honest and open with my husband
7. to be able to inspire hope in myself and others
8. to increase self esteem
9. to increase self confidence
10. to reduce anxiety to think clearly and have a better memory
11. to feel and see strength of my spirit
12. to be healthier both mind and body
13. authenticity and integrity have no secrets


I have cried for the child and know I am the only one that can help her, I know she deserves true love, unconditional love

#2 Establishing a Healthy Vision

My vision is based on the REAL me.
The REAL me loves and adores my husband, family, friends and neighbors
The REAL me is faithful and loyal
The REAL appreciates and expresses gratitude for all my blessings
The REAL me knows I am a child of God and feels his presence and unwavering love
The REAL me values the kind and compassionate person that I am
The REAL me has the ability to work tirelessly to achieve a healthy way of life
The REAL me is accepting, forgiving, loving and affectionate
The REAL me is full of appreciation and grace
The REAL me wants the deepest connection with my husband, one that is bonded by a secure attachment, real love and healthy intimacy

My vision is to have a healthy, committed marriage, a strong bonded relationship with my children, family and friends and to serve God by serving others. (continue my teaching career and serving as a volunteer at least once a week if not more)
