It has not been EASY :) - not in the least!
What has helped is the support of others who allowed me to be on the journey that I needed to take.
What has NOT helped are people who KNOW EXACTLY what I should be doing and who tell, yell, cajole me to do it! They would not be of help me in a million years.
The love of people who hug me and are there to simply support me and encourage me to do the next right thing as I see it.
SMART and the tools therein - especially the work-book and the tool-time sessions.
I am experiencing much greater mental clarity. Astoundingly better memory - especially for things I put somewhere and can find again! Once I leave the dance studio, I not only remember the routines THAT day but I can also recall them the next day! Haven't been able to do that for years.
My general mood is lighter. I have bouts of happiness. I am quicker with a smile and more content as a person.
I am listening to motivational recordings and getting them faster. I am more optimistic about the future and living a life of my choice.
It is easier this time and I suppose that is the nature of any journey - especially mountain climbing, where the life of intoxication has to be pushed off the top of this thought mountain, and replaced with something far more constructive.
