‘Waiting for my real life to begin’ 7/20

Posted bygracefuladdictPosted inUncategorized

Ever since my cat Pickles has passed away…I find myself opened up in a way that I have not yet experienced. I cry a lot.

I cry a lot but not in a sad way. It’s in some kind of beautiful life way.

I saw one of my closest friends at the store the other day. It has been about 3 weeks since I have seen her….and when I saw her face I just started crying. We hugged and I just couldn’t help but cry. I’m not even sad.

I heard the song ‘Waiting for my real life to begin’ by Colin Hay on the radio yesterday on my way into work. Tears…tears…and a peace.

In the song he says “Any minute now…my ship is coming in.” If you have not heard it please listen.

I strongly felt after listening to it…I am done waiting for my real life to begin.

My real life is now. It is here and it is filled with grace and love and friends and struggles and deaths and dreams and 10 million other things that can happen in a moment.

Its here. I’m here.

I am a true addict living my life one day at a time in recovery. I have been substance free -meaning NO drugs or alcohol since 5/23/10. My intention is to share my experiences daily in the hopes to free others from the fears of being who they truly are. My wish is to bravely tell my truth so others can tell theirs as well. I want to be free of self hatred and doubt. I want to live a life of joy, kindness, love and grace. Thank you!

      1. “Eve” in Hebrew is “Ḥawwāh” and is most commonly believed to mean “living one” or “source of life” I think she is going to breathe new life into yours and your sons lives ❤ enJOY her ❤

      2. Yesss!! It was funny because my son found her online and said she was the one – he said “mom look in her eyes” So then I said I wanted to change her name and he was adamant and said no. So I looked up the name and found out what it means I was just so grateful ❤️💜❤️definitely divine grace – the source of life…the living is coming into our home after we have had such a loss💜 it could be more perfect 💜♥️💜thank you for your love support Sue – miracles are happening over here ❤️❤️
