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.
