It's the morning after an OA retreat. I feel emotional, exhausted and a big pot of confusion. I had a lovely, moving weekend but today is a dangerous day. I have binged and stuffed down my feelings after retreats before. I need to take care.
Being grateful is a great way to take care. I am grateful:
- For the fabulous weekend I have just had - the people I shared it with, the lessons my HP made sure I heard, the surroundings
- For my Valentenine - he understood why it was important for me to be on a recovery retreat on Valentines day. He gave me my card early and he welcomed me home with a wonderful, abstinent meal of butterfly trout that he'd taken care to prepare
- For the 12 steps and all those who work them
- The adventures that lay ahead for me
- That I can do nothing today, if I wish, that I do not have to go to work. And that my partner supports my need for a rest day
- That there is more than one place I can call home, and I can be at home wherever I need to
- That Tesco delivers, and I can do my chores without leaving home
