Hi
By me walking in to the recovery program was the start of a much healthier life.
I understand that having a conscience is a healthy thing.
Sadly when I do or say things that hurt my self or other people is very much pain based.
Walking in to the recovery program I use to say I am fine or not so bad.
That was not true.
The recovery program was about healing my pains and help me give up unhealthy habits and exhcange unhealthy habits for healthy habits.Â
In the recovery program I would find meetings that gave me healthy therapies and help me articulate my feelings and emotions in healthy ways.
The recovery program would help me understand that my addictions and obsessions were unhealthy reactions to emotions and feelings I could not cope with.
The unhealed pains of the past caused unhealthy fears in me that were very unhealthy.
The unhealthy fears in me that would stunt my growth and disable me from reaching healthy golas in my life.
The unhealthy fears would disable me from having close intimate realtionships with my self and with other people.
The recovery program was about healing the hurt in inner chid in me.
As I healed I would react in anger rage guilt or shame any more.
I would live each day understanding my needs my wants and more important my healthy goals.
The recovery program was woud help me learn to love my self and others.
The recovery program was woud help me learn to respect my self and respect others.
The recovery program was about healing my pains and to live a much healthier life.
The recovery program was not about rushig at things but taking the slower healthy pat each day.
I am a non religious person.
I am a person who opens up more and reachs a healthier place each day.
I am a much healthier person who no longerwants to go back to self destruction and self abuse.
I understand each time I went back to gambling I made things much worse and caused so much pain to my self and to people that loved me.
Being dedicated to the recovery program I was in time become amuch healthier person.
Healing love and peace to every one.

Hi
The lies I told indicated how much pain and fear I was living in.
I feared being honest because I feared being rejected or abandoned or being hurt.
I am a non religious person and got to understand that I was emotionally vulnerable.
My emotional triggers were my pains I could not heal.
My emotional triggers were my fears I could not reduce or face.
My emotional triggers were frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations.
My emotional triggers were my feelings of loneliness due to the fact I feared being hurt and I could not trust other people.
My emotional triggers were my feelings of boredom due to my procrastination I could not reduce.
The recovery got me to understand how emotionall vulnerable I was.
With the deep therapies my fears reduced.
With the deep therapies I got to articulate my feelings and emotions and how to heal my pains.
As I got more involved in the recovery program I understand that I could move from being unhealthy and vulnerable to being a much healthier person.
In time I got to learn how to respect my self.
In time I got to learn how to love my self.
Today I am no longer the loner hurt child living in fear.
Love peace healing and love to every one.
