Not sure how many people will have seen this film as it's very old but it's about a pride of lions and one particular cub.
Something happened yesterday morning and at GA last night that filled me with pride. No ego at all just simply pride. I realised that in recovery I was at rock bottom and my feelings and thoughts were keeping me there. I went from someone, however fake that was, to nothing.
It's given me a sense of freedom and self worth that someone else thinks that so it's ok for me to as well
Â
I've not seen the film but I am pleased you are feeling some pride!
I do feel proud I had an awful few days and u didn't gamble,Â
yes I attend GA, was a lovely supportive group, I missed last nights, I'm exhausted, but I've been present ok the group chatÂ

Well done El..I can recommend the 12 steps when you feel readyÂ
thees something quite liberatiing about being at the bottom of something.....i have money now in the bank.....but i feel better when im living on the basics of life and watching every penny....... like it makes me feel better to just have the basics....not torturing myself..... just enjoying basics of life......... Its like when ur at rock bottom and just enjoy life for what basics give u....... If u can be happy with nothing the budhist approach it will set u free.... dont actualy know if im actually responding to the subject its just what came up in my head.
Hi Adam
I think this subject is whatever it means to talk, so you are on point. Freedom is a big part of recovery as you point out. Learning to enjoy simplicity rather than a Dreamworld of what If, is some important mateÂ
