It was exactly what I needed to hear today - thank you.<BR/><BR/>A friend often says that everyone in recovery comes to the first step with (a) a problem with God, (b) a problem with conscience, (c) a problem with sex, and (d) a problem with parents. I, too, still struggle with my parents - though both of them have "gone on" years ago. It is a sign of your progress in recovery that your mother does not dominate your life as she once might have!<BR/><BR/>In more than one way, I am envious of your time for treatment, even though I know it will not be fun, nor a "vacation." But my denial is in believing that if I had 3 weeks off, I would actively seek to transform my life, rather than just blogging and avoiding pain (as I am still wont to do, on occasion). But there is much that could benefit from downtime and structured recovery work. Maybe you will be reminding <B>me</B> of this, some day.<BR/><BR/>I have my own demon to face this week - on Thursday, I am going in for an ultrasound of my armpit areas. My father died at 54 of lymphoma - and 4 months after my 50th birthday, I've begun to notice some areas of tenderness in both underarm areas. My mind tells me, "You're taking action; it's the right thing to do; it's all you CAN do," even as a little part of it is over in the corner, balled up and screaming, "Why bother?? You're going to DIE anyway, just like <B>he</B> did..." (Such a cheery bastard, that little guy is...)<BR/><BR/>So we will each be walking a challenging road, it would seem...<BR/><BR/>Reading your post, I am reminded of the song by the one-hit group Mr. Mister:<BR/><BR/><I>When I was young I thought of growing old,<BR/>Of what my life would mean to me - <BR/>Would I have followed down my chosen road,<BR/>Or only wished what I could be?...<BR/><BR/></I>Kyrie Eleison<I><BR/>Down the road that I must travel<BR/></I>Kyrie Eleison<I><BR/>Through the darkness of the night<BR/></I>Kyrie Eleison<I><BR/>Where I'm going will you follow<BR/></I>Kyrie Eleison<I><BR/>On a highway in the light...</I><BR/><BR/>I would remind you that if you are walking hand-in-hand with God, and we are walking hand-in-hand with God, then you and we are walking hand-in-hand - no matter how far apart we are. Simply hold our your hand, and trust that we will be there.<BR/><BR/>Or, as my first sponsor said, time and time again, "I'd tell you to 'go with God,' but fortunately for us, neither one of us gets a <B>vote</B> on that one..."Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12697100521186605498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-7624209222847846562007-07-29T20:15:00.000-06:002007-07-29T20:15:00.000-06:00Know that you will be in my prayers the whole time...Know that you will be in my prayers the whole time you are there.why?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09384205442860133838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-83072779598890270202007-07-29T16:18:00.000-06:002007-07-29T16:18:00.000-06:00amen.amen.daisymariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335423179107661562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-83659117299478520802007-07-29T13:31:00.000-06:002007-07-29T13:31:00.000-06:00The Lord bless you and keep you and make his face ...The Lord bless you and keep you and make his face to smile upon you.
