Old Way of Thinking
Posted On 04/28/2008 14:08:15 by flachic75

I find myself lately slipping back in to my old way of thinking and feeling.I usually read my morning meditation when I get to work and that seems to start my day. Lately though I just seem to dwell on the past, the sadness and hurt and try to figure out things like the choices I made in my life.For example  my son's dad is still active using.  Hasn't telephoned in a year and as I watch him growing up in front of my eyes I feel that the choices I made in life are hurting and bringing sadness to my own son. How do I get past the guilt and shame?

Looking out for the welfare of your child isn't something you should be feeling guilty about. Especially when it's not your responsibility for his father to get his act together.

The steps can be a great tool for non-addicts who are coping with the addictions of loved ones as well. :)

JD said it - I'll just echo. One of your choices was your son - focus on joy for a while instead of sadness.
Take care,
Dennis

Are you working
the steps?  I think you owe it to yourself and your son!  Honesty,
Hope, Trust, and Truth are the first 4 steps that got me started. You just did some of step 5.  Now, away with the old, and in with the new!  Step 6 is a new heart and a new you!  As jd said, give the guilt and shame to Jesus.  You can do it!    God bless!

give it to God and don't take it back.  you cannot change yesterday, but you sure as hell can make tomorrow beautiful by what you do in today.

God bless you and your child.  :)
