Wow... has it been that long?!

I'm sure you're all just hanging around waiting for the next thrilling instalment... hehe. 

Anyway, I've had a couple of codependent relapses, in the last decade, I'd like to share but the time is not nigh.  I'm working on it though.

Recovery sure is an undulating journey - I've not relapsed with alcohol but I always felt as if codependency was my biggest problem.  It's run riot through my career and relationships... kinda like a Tasmanian Devil... as I think I've said before... and devastation sometimes takes a while to sweep up.  

Putting others first seems a worthy way of life but not if you're holding your breath and waiting for them to breathe first, so you can breathe without feeling guilty about it.  After all, their breath's more precious than yours, right? Wrong! 

You deserve to take up space.  You deserve to have your own oxygen.  You deserve to have your own words.  You deserve to be listened to and not just heard.  You deserve to be you - your taste in music, your taste in film or tv, your taste in food, your taste in how you want to be loved.  You deserve it.  You are worthy of it. Embrace it!  Embrace all that is you!
