PRACTICE:


Keep practicing your recovery
behaviors, even when they feel
awkward, even when they haven't
quite taken yet.

Sometimes it takes years for a
recovery concept to move from our
mind into our heart and soul. We need
to force ourselves to do things even
when they don't feel natural. We need
to do it, and do it, and do it – day after
day, year after year.

Even after years, we may find
ourselves, in times of stress or duress,
reverting to old ways of thinking,
feeling, and behaving.

Do not give up! It takes time to get
self-love into the core of us. Time and
experience. Lesson, lessons, and more
lessons.

Then, just when we think we've
arrived, we find we have more to learn.

Keep on taking care of yourself, no
matter what. Keep on plugging away at
recovery behaviors, one day at a time.
One day, it will happen. You will wake
up, and find that what you've been
struggling with and working so hard at
and forcing yourself to do, finally
feels comfortable. It has hit your soul.

Then, you go on to learn something
new and better.
