notes from Margaret session

Margaret talked about developing a psychic shield

Love deficit, love seeking - how can I fill that love void?

Hard for me to trust based on rejecting and abandonment in past. Depression for a year after breaking up with Nareen. 20 years without relationship. It’s going to be okay it’s not my fault. I’m not the same person that I was then, I’ve grown and I’ve got more support.

I will make mistakes. Hard finding same people who have emotional space to give.

We are all flawed human beings.

update

Today is day 3 of my abstinence from non-bingeing and I’m not using sugar flour wheat.

I called swaraj and let her know I couldn’t make it and I was proud of myself for that.

I am doing some sorting out of paperwork and throwing away stuff, grateful for that.

It’s been hard, I’ve had to sleep early and I wake up super early but it has been so worth it to not binge. And I’m also trying to manage my addiciton to spending, impulse buying games etc.

I replaced my earphones cushions and it feels great. Want to get to the gym later today. But for now I’m attending another meeting and I’m looking forward to watching the totenham match.

a letter to God

Dear Dear sweet god, thank you for a night of abstinence. I’m so grateful after all that bingeing over the weekend. Thank you for protecting me and guiding me out of the most horrible driving conditions. I really thought I was done for after the spin on the 401 and the snow squall. So very grateful that I was saved a crash and I feel sad that so many others we not spared. I am so very happy to be back in montreal and regrouping before I see my mom again. Feel so happy that I could see her and thank you god for the break in between seeing the family in Lake placid which was a wonderful blessing and focusing on the friendships that matter. I am proud for trying to be with my mom for making the effort on Christmas Eve. God please help me with work and supporting myself and the debting and overspending God. Is there anything that you can help me with re: French , work, abstinence and tenant god. Am doing my best with debtors anonymous but it’s so hard to make and stick with a budget.

Dear Sweet Sweet child, breathe little one it’s going to be okay my love. Trust us little one, we will point you in the right direction and you will find a way my sweet. It’s all going to be okay my love. We are so very proud of you, for leaving the chocolate cookies behind when we knew that it reminded you so much of your childhood in South Africa. For throwing away that slice of cheesecake and giving yourself a chance of abstinence and for getting on the ACA and FAA calls last night and connecting with your fellows. We are so very proud of you for that. It’s going to be okay little one., we are so glad to see you willing to do whatever you can. Please don’t despair when people don’t reply to you or take you for granted little one, that is about them and not about you. Keep nurturing yourself little one and providing the love and comfort you need so you don’t depend so much on others. Others have a right to set their boundaries little one and it really isn’t so much about you as it is about their own personal space. You are doing your best little one, it will come. We promise you :) Love God.

A letter from God

 Struggling with weight gain, shame in showing it to family. Work pressures and dealing with life and addiction one day at a time. 

From God:

My dear sweet and loving child, breathe little one. I’ts all going to be okay. You do not have to do this all on your own little one, trust in the process. We are so very proud that you reached out to us. And also to a newcomer and to do the meetings and to take a call from a friend you havent talked to in a while. Keep coming to us with the challenges and anxieties little one and all will be well. We can handle it. You are loved and adored little one.  We are sorry about the physical weight gain and the anguish it is causing you. You are doing the very best you can and we love you for that. It’s all going to be okay little one.
