what has been happening in my life

I have done some awesome things recently

I got to be one of the trainers at the Certified Peer Specialist Trainings. It was very important for me to be a part of people I admire.  It helped me to see myself more on a equal level than second best. I really put myself into what I knew and wanted the peers learning this stuff to know. It was an awesome experience.

It was also important to me to share where Kaufman House was with my peers, although it was dark and we could not see details of the house, it still meant a lot to share that part of my recovery story with them.

I also did something that I will not go into details,however to say: that I have realize again that you do not have to have a crisis to make something make sense. You do not have stay in a unhealthy situation just because you said “yes” trusting and thinking it would be different, after all you have learned in the three years you were not together.    It really is not important to do the blame game, who did what and why it cannot work.     What is imprtant is that you know it is unhealthy. You have experience health and you have experience unhealthiness and you want health no matter what that means.  This has been a big step in my recovery and I just wanted to share it.   Now to trust the other person does not think it has to become a crisis to make it make sense since that is all it has been.

the other really neat experience I have had is I went to my first Tweet-up
