Why a dr?
Went for my biopsy and cancer marker results today, and as always, biopsy was clear and marker labs came back positive. They ALWAYS do. So of course, I’m being referred to stl, where they will ultimately decide NOT to remove the cysts until a later date. Why do I even keep these appointments? 🙄
Going to group/refuge tonite. I have an appt with Brent tomorrow to try to unscramble some of the knots in my brain. Thursday, stl for the rescheduled kidney appt and Friday, an ultrasound for the surgeon. Busy, busy.
Ordered a new rabbit last night. I’m still pretty creeped out that Sam stole my vibrator… very strange indeed. Who does that? Sam, that’s who…
Time to go conversate and meditate!
I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about refuge recovery – very interesting approach!
@thediarymaster It’s awesome. The focus isn’t on you as an addict, it’s you as a person. It’s a lot about not attaching to feelings, but letting them be what they are, and moving on from them.
@laurie_1 that sounds great, I think where a lot of programs fail is that they focus (as you said) on the addiction part of a person’s personality alone and trying to weaken it, when they can succeed by making the other parts of the person’s personality stronger.
@thediarymaster. That’s exactly it. Sure, I’m an addict, but that’s just part of who I am. To focus solely on that aspect makes it take over my life, almost as if by recognizing that and only that, gives my addict more power. We rarely talk about addiction at refuge. It’s more about building peace and giving it power, which diminishes the strength of my addiction.
@laurie_1 thanks for the enlightenment!
