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.
