Hang on to that! Take things one step at a time. Even if they are baby steps. That's the only way I can make it through each day. In fact, some days I just have to sit and be still. The important thing is not to blame yourself for anything! You are a victim......and you are one strong woman for sharing your story with us. {{{HUGS}}}Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906548030234380200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526757194959384434.post-614236703696721562009-08-04T04:59:57.420-07:002009-08-04T04:59:57.420-07:00I found that guilt wasn't helpful in any form....I found that guilt wasn't helpful in any form. It just made me beat myself up over and over. I am glad to ask God to remove my shortcomings and to understand my past enough to move into the present day. That has helped me to let go of guilt. I can't change what used to be but I can change what happens today.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526757194959384434.post-37735562802017785142009-08-03T19:10:01.096-07:002009-08-03T19:10:01.096-07:00Thank you for your kind comment on my blog.

I did a posting on obsessions of the mind, and got some really good feed back. I've had to work long and hard on this one...it's not easy.<br /><br />http://karensahamoments.blogspot.com/2009/06/obsession-of-mind.htmlTall Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278195551060786353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526757194959384434.post-11369926570060984492009-08-03T15:44:00.241-07:002009-08-03T15:44:00.241-07:00For me, working with another alcoholic gets me out...For me, working with another alcoholic gets me out of my mind, at least temporarily.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526757194959384434.post-73959410027354796262009-08-03T14:44:23.796-07:002009-08-03T14:44:23.796-07:00You feel guilt???
