Valid points to reflect on through your journey of recovery!

Recovery
#1

Dear Brothers and Sisters this applies to both men and women, friends and family.

Many of you ask me what we mean by ‘She Is Not Your Rehab’ so I thought I’d put this list together -

  1. She is not responsible for your emotional rehabilitation.

  2. Your healing is your responsibility and yours to take initiative for and manage.

  3. Any healing needed for you, cannot come at the expense of her healing, health and wellbeing.

  4. She can support you but she can never do more for you than you are prepared to do for yourself.

  5. Regardless of what anyone has done TO YOU, it is now time FOR YOU to take ownership of your own life and be committed to living it wholeheartedly enough to do any work needed. Your childhood trauma wasn’t your fault but your healing IS now your responsibility.

  6. True change comes from genuine growth. Growth happens once we heal. Healing starts when we begin to FEEL our pain.

  7. Hurt people inevitably hurt people because what we will not transform, we transmit on those around us and healed people do indeed heal people. The question is WILL YOU have the courage to heal?

Thank you for sharing this. I needed to read this today. My journey has been about healing. I get these big burst of forward momentum then a setback that last a days to weeks. It’s like my spiritual growth stops dead in my tracks. I agree that my healing is based solely on my effort and willingness to ask God for the guidance. I’ve been asking for the courage, wisdom and guidance to make the necessary changes in my life. Could I have too much going on? I do have to much stuff, two storage units full of my garage stuff. Need to get rid of this stuff as I just don’t need it anymore.
Healing has been a slow process for me. I’m the type who wants it now. Maybe I need to be praying for patience.

Hi Kevin! Patience is a word we hear in recovery but cringe hearing it! We tend to be impulsive and recovery is about being patient as it’s a journey. I struggle with this too. There are a few great days and a few awful days and a whole lot of mediocre days in this journey. Find joy in the small things and make little changes in your life that serve you. Maybe purge some of the items you have in storage by donating. This maybe what’s weighing on you! Healing is a long process but self-discovery can be amazing. One day or moment at a time.

Purging is what’s on my mind. I’ve sold a few items recently. Donating is definitely something I’m looking at doing. Thank you :blush:
