So I am right there with ya. In AA, we have a saying... "Our program will not get us our life back that we lost. It gets us a brand new one. Better than what we had".
Not necessarily meaning we gain everything back. I have not gained the net worth back yet and may never. But I have something I never had. Serenity. And out of this serenity, I am free to be productive in every area of my life. Instead of being all twisted, preoccupied, depressed, and anxious in every moment.
So I guess I am serene with a lower net worth. I'll take this combination any day.
Chazz,
That is so very true.... I never would want my old life back...
I was WAYYYYY too wound up, anxious, stressed out and fearful.... All of this I believe was caused by me entertaining thoughts I believe came from Satan.... He wants to rob us of our lives and the joy of today..... He does NOT need to get us to do something really aweful... Satan just needs to keep us distracted with negative feelings.... I see that clearly now...
I now trust my life to God..... Whatever happens, happens... He WILL walk or carry me through it..... I believe He carried me through the last two years....
As for money, whose money is it anyways? Someone here wrote it is God's money and if He wants me to have it again, He will give it to me.... That was very profound to me...
Take Care,
RMG
