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.
