Well here I am in all my glory. I can't argue that this is a beautiful picture so I won't even try. I am AMAZED. Trust me, I am not bragging or boasting and I am certainly not fishing for compliments. I have received so many on Facebook and I truly appreciate them all! I... Continue Reading →
Straight up rambling tonight... It's been a long and windy road to get to the place of peace I live in today. I love my life and I love who I am today. Yes, there are days when my life is a bit chaotic and unsettled and times when I feel I am back-sliding into... Continue Reading →
One of the most frustrating things for a recovering codependent is to watch someone, who knows nothing of codependency, dance the endless and exhausting dance. It doesn't matter how much you explain what is happening on the dance floor, because you are all too familiar with it, they still dance. Once again reminding me, that... Continue Reading →
One more step forward today. It's been a little rough trying to keep the guilt at bay, but I have managed. The restraining order has been filed and I will pick up the order tomorrow. It was hard, at first, then someone told me that "he" found out I was filing the restraining order and said... Continue Reading →
Remember my last post, where I bragged about landing in the "Valley of Change"? Well, a tornado stuck the valley, full force, that very night. There was no warning; I never saw it coming. It hit so hard, I almost lost my sanity and peace of mind. Sleep did not come to me that night... Continue Reading →
I can't believe how strong I feel! I can't believe how good I feel! For the last several days, I have been inundated with opportunities to "dance"; one right after the other. I haven't felt the need to. I haven't allowed them to upset me to the point that I feel the uncontrollable need to lash back.... Continue Reading →
I have never really struggled with paranoia much, at least not to the degree some people do, but I have had my moments. I'd like to share one of those moments with you, if for no other reason, it's kind of comical now. It is so funny how this paranoia is triggered and thankfully today,... Continue Reading →
I read a very interesting article today posted by another blogger. It is titled, "Why All Men Cheat on Loyal Women" and it is written by Ebrahim Aseem. As I read through it, I noticed myself. UGH, I hate when that happens. Yep, I was one of those "weak" women. It made me start thinking... Continue Reading →
I was running some errands yesterday and listening to the radio, having my own little karaoke fest in my car, when Katy Perry's song, "Roar" came on. I've heard this song just a few times before but never really paid attention to the lyrics. Well, they caught my attention yesterday. For some reason, it hit... Continue Reading →
It seems to have been a whirlwind of month so far with all the drama surrounding me. It's not my drama but so much is happening in the lives of those around me and I feel I have done very well in not getting sucked up into the whirlwind although a tinge of guilt surrounds... Continue Reading →
This morning I was asked if I could post about some of the characteristics of codependent people to help others understand a little more about codependency. I am more than happy to share what I have learned along this journey and will share some of the very first things that made me realize I had... Continue Reading →
Update: The blog my post was written for was taken down so you can read it here. Last month I started a Facebook page and a Twitter account for the Diary of a Recovering Codependent. I have a tiny following on each and I am so grateful for those of you who read my, sometimes... Continue Reading →
