She Let Go
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely,
without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a
book on how to let go… She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her day-timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analise whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Here’s to giving ourselves the gift of letting go…
There’s only one Guru ~ you.
―Rev. Safire Rose

Wonderful @Callie99 , I almost did not post it. Support, whether it is group, like this, individual, personal or professional, is of course helpful and beneficial and I did not want the post to sound derogatory or condescending to that. On the other hand, I liked what it said! I am glad you did too.

The support system I have here has been instrumental in my sobriety. But sobriety itself has been a very solitary journey for me. That I know that it’s up to me to not drink, to make the right choices for my life, and go to sleep every night sober- no one else’s. My sobriety has turned out to be a path in refinding and relearning to trust myself. That I should not look to others or outside forces on what to eat or how to look or whether or not I should drink. The poem you posted reminded me trust myself. I’m so lucky to have found this community and people like you :yellow_heart::kissing_heart:

Heyy guys :slight_smile:

I forgot to post this

I went to a phycatric appointment on Wednesday and my dr said my coping skills for my sczophrania amazed him. I made them up myself and he was pretty amazed :slight_smile: it made me feel good

I told him that big pharm might be too quick to to perscribe meds which was my opinion.
I told him educating someone be4 being perscribed should be a must

I told him
I don’t fear my thoughts
I give problems i cant control to God
And nothing matters but the moment we are in

I also told him I concider my “auditory hullusations” are simply thoughts that are in camaflage

Phycosis is being inside the mental illness. It simply means that the person is experiencing symptoms

Prase my higher power i have not had phycosis for a long time
