IN-BETWEEN:
~
Sometimes, we have to be in-between.
One of the most difficult parts of recovery is the concept of letting go
of what is old and familiar, and be willing to stand with our hands
empty while we wait.
Being in-between can apply to many areas of life and recovery. We
can be in between jobs, careers, homes, or goals. We can be in
between behaviors as we let go of the old and are not certain what
we will replace it with. This can apply to behaviors that have
protected and served us well all of our life, such as care taking and
controlling.
There maybe many feelings going on when we're in-between:
spurts of grief about what we have let go of or lost, and feelings of
anxiety, fear, and apprehension about what's ahead. These are
normal feelings for the in-between place.
Being in-between isn't fun, but it's necessary. It will not last forever.
It may feel like we're standing still, but we're not. We're standing at
the in-between place. It's how we get from here to there.
