I was absolutely shocked last night at my reaction when a lady pulled me aside to speak to me at Celebrate Recovery. I decided to go for my lack of self-control on eating and discovered there's a lot more to work on also! In the beginners small group we told why we were there. The leader later privately corrected me on something I said about myself because it wasn't right to put that guilt on myself (or something to that effect). It was positive on my behalf and I was suddenly rushed with the urge to cry---I think at how she was sort of standing up for me, and I was so surprised and touched. But the crazy thing is, I stuffed it right away and so deep that I'm not sure what she said. I just know it was on my behalf! That was my confirmation I needed to be there. Hannah has a night shirt with Patrick the starfish on it. He says, "I have issues..." I think I'm in the same boat (or lagoon). I must have some issues to respond to kindness that way! I'm guessing it made such an impression because she was a stranger and I was so sure I am wrong. (?) I'm not sure, but I do know that this is going to be quite a journey!
