How should I proceed now? Is there hope?

Letting go was the best thing I ever did for MYSELF.

I regained my confidence, my sense of humor, my sense of self.

It doesn't always come easy, and it comes easier for some people than others.

Some things I did in the order I did them:

1. I quit drinking altogether because it wasn't helping my self-control.

2. Began a regular fitness rountine.

3. Prayed for Strength & Clarity and accepted that any action or inaction on my part was solely my own responsibility. (this was a dark time).

5. Began to notice what was good about my life. I began listing 10 things a day that I was grateful for in my life each and every day. After a while, I couldn't do much without noticing something I was grateful for having in my life.

5. Began planning and doing things that I wanted to do on my own or with friends and family.


Then I just knew I was going to have a fantastic life no matter what challenges I had to face. I actually gave thanks for the difficult times because it taught me to appreciate so much and drove me to examine my life and make meaningful changes.
