Soooo true- Lang of letting go Mood
Thursday, August 21, 2008
"Detachment means we care, about others and ourselves. It frees us to make the best possible decisions. It enables us to set the boundaries we need to set with people. It allows us to have our feelings, to stop reacting and initiate a positive course of action. It encourages others to do the same.

It allows our Higher Power to step in and work.

Today, I will trust the process of detaching with love. I will understand that I am not just letting go; I am letting go and letting God. I'm loving others, but I'm loving myself too. "

    Learning to love ourselves without guilt or shame is a key element in our codependent recovery. IMHO. detachment is learning to accept that others have their own problems they need to solve themselves. I know I used to try to project my feelings on others and help them avoid emotional pains I thought I'd have in the same situation; I no longer do that. i am slowly learning to mind my own business and feelings. Codeps avoid their own feelings by replacing them by helping others with their feelings. It doesn't work. I need to be responsible for my own feelings, and sort them out on my own, through education and self-examination.

    You're well on your way to recovery with this new philosophy and knowledge. Blessings...
