MOVING ON:

Sometimes, as part of taking care of ourselves, it becomes
time to end certain relationships. Sometimes, it comes
time to change the parameters of a particular relationship.

Sometimes, we linger in relationships that are dead, out of
fear of being alone or to postpone the inevitable grieving
process that accompanies endings. Sometimes, we need to
linger for a while, to prepare ourselves, to get strong

enough to handle the change.

Knowing that a relationship is changing or is about to end
is a difficult place to be in, especially when it is not yet time
to act but we know the time is drawing near. It can be
awkward and uncomfortable. We may become impatient,

but not yet feel empowered to do that. That's okay.
Something important is still happening. When the time is
right, we can trust that it will happen. We will receive the
power and the ability to do what we need to do.

Ending relationships or changing the boundaries of a
particular relationship is not easy. It requires courage and
faith. It requires a willingness on our part to take care of
ourselves and, sometimes, to stand alone for a while.

We are never starting over. In recovery, we are moving
forward in a perfectly planned progression of lessons.
When the lesson has been mastered, we will move on.
We will find ourselves in a new place, learning new
lessons, with new people.

No, the lessons are not all painful. We will arrive at that
place where we can learn, not from pain, but from joy
and love.
