[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622514, member: 13542"] COM and ECHO, you are both doing so well in this wild landscape we live on.........and I know how tough it is, but both of you have enormous commitments to grow, to heal and to change and that will serve you well and bring you peace. Last year when I was pondering some similar questions about how weird it was that I was leaving on vacation when my daughter was practically homeless and essentially enjoying my "good life" I posted about my feelings about that and how strange it was and how I felt somehow selfish in enjoying my life as she was in desperate straights..........Well, Calamity Jane responded to me and said, "what are you supposed to do RE, wear a hair shirt?" Meanwhile, I had to look that up since I had heard of it but didn't really grasp the meaning. When I saw what that was, I had the most dramatic reaction.............I started laughing! I cracked up. I brought it to my therapy group, which was filled with women.........mothers, who were ALL wearing hair shirts and I told them about it and WE ALL cracked up. Every single time after that that I thought like that, I envisioned myself wearing a hair shirt and it stopped me dead in my tracks. That one phrase did the trick. I am still so grateful to Calamity Jane for saying that........thanks CJ!!! [/QUOTE]
