So long, and thanks for the fish

I am making progress. I am moving along.

BUT--and I said this to my therapist yesterday--the key thing--and my tendency to do--would be to say "well, OK! got thru that! Whatever!" and then NOT DO THE NECESSARY WORK.

Such that I would be back in her office 10 years from now, sobbing out the same story.

I have a talent for covering up, covering over, dismissing, not acknowledging all the crap--thus my current state. So if my friends and therapist DON'T push me, I will go back into the comfort zone.

And I want to. Why not? It's comfortable there! No need for huge feelings; no need to be open and intimate and take all the risks thereof--

Aver,
Me TOO! What a shocker! I've done all of the above. I understand. And I don't really think for a second you would, after all of this, go back to your old comfort zone, I don't know if it's really possible.

You already are living up to the inspiration - I see it in your posts to me & many others. I think it's healthy to be worried about going back to bad old habits - for me (in other areas) it's the worry that keeps me from doing it!

You're aware, and that in itself is really pretty huge. But I hear what you're saying about doing the work. That is a HUGE piece, and all my favorite inspirations on this board are all about action.

I think you are doing amazingly, and your GAL keeps me inspired. I didn't do that well this weekend BTW probably a C on the GAL. I know, I know! Spontaneous just doesn't work well for me, I have to make plans. I had only 1 night planned, so I failed to GAL successfully.

You know that old saying: those who fail to make plans plan to fail, or something irritating like that! I'm glad you had a great weekend though, you're inspirational Aver!

I'll check back soon. Thanks for your support, I can't tell you how much it means. ((((hugs))))
