Hello friends...
This morning I opened my email and there was a message from a good friend on this site. I had had the usual daily-sent-to-everyone-comments buts this was a sent-just-to-me-message, the first in about 2 months. About 2 months is how long I have been away from here, but I am back now.
No I wasn't in terrible relapse rolling semi-conscious in the aisles of some convenience store. It is true that I was exposing myself to the risk of relapse here and there. I replied to my friend's message at length and in detail about the trials and stresses of my life int he past 6 weeks, but I will spare you here. You all have your versions of when life gets crazy.
But this is what God has been doing for me about that....First, I mention to another compulsive overeater about this website. I mention my friend from Brooklyn who is a night owl - isn't that great I get 24 access to recovery? (I began thinking about going back online.) Then the wonderful gal I sponsor starts resuming her daily emailed foodplans in an awesome effort to pull herself out of a bad place. I am inspired by the going-back-to-a-better-place that this woman is doing. Next I get the message from Brooklyn asking how I've been. Now I am blogging again, a good thing for me to get back to.
That's how it works, isnt it? That's how HP uses our daily interactions to inspire and cajole us into healthier stuff. I believe that all those conversations, interactions, responses and reaching out in the last three days were meant to be. So here I am....thanks to God.
I will be cruising around here looking at what people are doing, what is HP doing....and getting my dose of recovery medicine that you all provide to each other and --
thank you God -- to me too.
