Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Most of it is not worth the paper it's printed on. I've read many books and they all rehash the Claire Weekes ideas. You go online and it's the same. I've no doubt that it's the way forwards. Acceptance. They all agree on one thing though, it's not easy to do....and when you think of it, how can it be easy? To accept the sensations that have been with us since time began. Sensations that we are primed to act upon. We had to or die in the jaws of a saber toothed tiger. What is hotwired into us, we have to accept. Very difficult but it can be done as others have proved. Claire Weekes herself for one. It still came but she was able to let it go.
Naughty Mr.C leaving a bomb site where the kitchen should have been. I have trained Mr.D not to leave a mess and he will loads and unloads the dishwasher like a pro. The only thing he does is leave crumbs from crusty loaves all over the surfaces...right through til the following morning. But I can't grumble, he's a keeper.
sit yourself by an open window and let this lovely Autumn weather come in. I've just seen the forecast again and it's pretty dismal this coming week. The nights are really drawing in too. We were just saying last night, it won't be long before we are walking the dogs by torchlight again :(
