The whole course has been amazing but I wanted to show you part of the list that came up on the last night.  If you remember the list on week one: anger, pain, depression, suicide, abandonment, hurt etc etc? Well here is the list that was named "What does recovery look like to you?" FREEDOM, FREE TO DREAM, CAREFREE, REALISING OUR DREAMS, NEW CLOTHES, FUN AND EXCITEMENT, LESS STRESS, QUALITY TIME WITH OUR CHILDREN, NEW THINGS TO DO, PEACE WITH EX, ACCEPTANCE, NEW PARTNERSHIPS, HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, NEW FRIENDS, PERSONAL FULFILLMENT, LETTING GO OF BAD FEELINGS, RESTORED SPIRIT, ACCEPTANCE OF SITUATION, NEW COMMITTMENTS, TOLERANCE AND UNDERSTANDING ETC!How about that for a change of out look? I know that it is not plain sailling by any stretch of the imagination but the change of emphasis of so many of the people of the course is so inspiring and comforting and encourgaging. HOPE is the word that really encompasses the list above for me and what a word to finish a course on.
