you are doing a great job

Today, I am grateful for recovery and the tools it’s given me to reparent my inner family with love, humor, gentleness, and respect. 

I am learning what forgiveness feels like in my body. 

I accomplished hearing my mom is experiencing some heart issues without completing loosing my shit, experiencing a takeover, or reverting to problem behaviors. 

I delighted in rising before the sun without an alarm, in a friendly text exchange with my dad, and in meeting up with a friend.
