Today, I will let any after-burn which sets in after I practice a new recovery behaviour, burn off. I will not take it so seriously. Help me let go of my shame and needless fears about what will happen to me if I really start caring for and loving myself.

The Language of letting go

My pendulum swung from allowing myself to be steamrolled over to being a fortress and not allowing anything in, lest I get hurt again.

Now, I seem to have found my equilibrium.

It seems like it has burnt off.

Although, sometimes I do still shudder.

Oh well.
