step III n II n I - reverse - and in one spot - lol	Permalink

Hi, Welcome to my third step - I've been sticking steps into other's share/s however, its long story short - I am powerless over the a, no matter what activity the a is in the throes of, abuse, alcohol, drugs, etc., makes for an a in my book. And I am powerless over that situation. Now it seems to make less contact with that personality type than ever before. Truncated step one... Step II Its Coming to believe in a power that could restore me to sanity.. Cool - I was straight to the step when I found me in the hospital 10/06 to 3/07 as I find me in a hospital, being told I was not in good shape and actually I could not move without assistance. I remember laying in the bed thinking ya learned how to walk twice before this event (skiing concussion issues). The ex-a was gone, however, someone found my family, who are a-behaviour types.. just act it out in other ways.. And they all would come to see me never move again. Well that was not me in that bed who would never move again. I was second stepping it and so could not reach them from this ideology of recovery. Soon I was getting into the wheel chair myself. Not long afte that I'd go into the bathroom n close the door n walk, second stepping it all the way - lol! I am fully ambulatory now as I held to the priceless gift of serenity this very room helped me to remember.. Thank y'all for that! I'm still trying to offer the family these ideas, however, I remember it takes time, and the program will b around for a while... Step III So I am out of the hsp and life is returning to normal and in someway I had decided to turn my life over to the force I called upon for my healing me. The other nite as I'm going off to wherever I go when I think I'm sleeping tired (bed), the roles I've taken on re special ed teacher, second language learner skills and a college professor and in recovery from the concussion and related snares to all the above, the ex and the e-notes I get out to the kids I'm like well for what reason did u keep me around for to my h.p. who goes by the name of zenboy for me. I can not handle any aspect of any of it - althou I did get a note out to the ex-s daughter saying my activities include an l.p. version of the movie 28 days ( l.p. =s long playing version ) and not letting anyone in whose torn me up before for round 2 / another round of insanity / the merry go round doo doo.. I do wish them all well. I got to take them to a church where serenity is their message and not the boogey person god concept many learn as real as the most of my family teach to their kids.. poor kids. Of course its done in the name of some god that I fired a long, long time ago.. I did fire the md that told me I'd never walk again. My therapist is history also. I hope the kids learn to turn their lives over instead of to repeat and I will always be there for them to ask me what? again, if they ever need to. My barriers fall away as I learn, yet are reinforced by the ideas of step 3, to turn it over to my zen boy h.p. namaste~ Step IV is next - yahoo!!! __________________ getoverit, whatever tool/s it takes
