The last three weeks have gone really well for Lea, Michelle and
I. I was concerned about relapse due to
be overwhelmed by positive events in their lives. Good events going well is a huge trigger in
early recovery creating major potential for immediate self-destruction. We had our little dish conflict over the
weekend and that seems to have been the worst of it. Lea made it to a meeting this morning after a
week of schedule conflicts, feeling sick and such. It is like the baseball metaphor of sliding
into home—SAFE!
I am grateful we did not self-destruct via relapse or other
self-inflicted major chaos after the success of getting dentures, carpal tunnel
surgery, getting registered for college and more. It is major milestone to have six weeks of
sobriety, achieve some successes and not self-destruct. It is a foundation for believing in ourselves
and letting go of the fear of the damage we do our lives and ourselves.
