Today, when you look yourself in the mirror, do you see yourself as ENOUGH??? I discovered in 1988 that hitting bottom had an essential twin... Ever since then, I've been perfecting how to say it... I sensed my personal success depended on both of the twins...
In REHAB/RECOVERY, we all are suffering from the disillusionment of sensing we are not "ENOUGH"; a subtle sense of dread... How you sense your feelings of "ENOUGH" is obviously your business...
That said, my caveat is that once we "hit bottom", our job has just begun... If we lift ourselves up and brush ourselves off, but still retain the murky self-image of not feeling like being "ENOUGH" for our personal lives, there's a possibility of another "bottom" in our future...
Not being ENOUGH in our own life sets us up for internal conflictedness, adding to chaos in our image of self; our self-image
We cant imagine how much stress, strain and strife our internal conflicts have caused us up to this point in our lives"ENOUGH" is nobodies "BUZZ WORD", its a state of mind; a worthwhile state of mind... Its a state of mind that makes the statement about our self-image finally being whole... This is because, when we feel "ENOUGH", the person talking to us in our mirror is talking with one voice and we recognize it as our own
We can now be one with ourselves and speak with one voice, ours...
