Get Well Wishes for Robin (RobiLee)

Robin - you don't deserve to die. But you have every right to get angry and fight back!

I have been in many places in life where I didn't want to DIE - I just didn't want to live life like I was any more. Does that make sense?

And I didn't live that horrid life - I changed, and it changed. Keep working, keep going to group. Yes, it's unfair you have to do all this work. BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT.

Stay alive. The pain will go away. Real healing takes more than a bandaid - it takes time.

Give yourself the gift of time. One second, one minute, one hour, one day at a time...whatever you can do.

And you CAN.

You are enough. You are enough. You are good enough just the way you are.

Robin. I have always found some comfort in the following. I hope you do too.

One point - accepting something has nothing to do with liking it. ok? Read on.

It's from an AA book - but just take what applies and leave the rest.

"And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation-some fact of my life-unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation exactly the way it supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God´s world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life´s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

"Shakespeare said, ´All the world´s a stage and all the men and women merely players.´ He forgot to mention that I was the chief critic. I was always able to see the flaw in every person, every situation. And I was always glad to point it out, because I knew you wanted perfection just as I did. AA and acceptance have taught me that there´s a bit of good in the worst of us and a bit of bad in the best of us; that we are all children of God and we each have a right to be here. When I complain about me or about you, I´m complaining about God´s handiwork. I am saying that I know better than God."
