A woman's path to sustained recovery

Though the process of recovery is never easy, some women seem to move through the journey with less pain than others. Why? What makes the difference? Here we will talk about how that happens for each of us. We will talk about how women heal in mutually empowering realtionships with themselves, with others and with God.

Nancy

In my book, Broken by Addiction, Blessed by God, the story of Nancy runs through each chapter. Nancy called today as she does almost monthly. She had been feeling suicidal but wanted to let me know she was now feeling some better. Her physical health has deterioated and her activity level is limited. She had stopped taking her anti-depressant meds which is a bad idea for Nancy.She was feeling better now that she was back on the meds.

I asked her how she had worked her way through the suicidal feelings. She said she continually reminded herself that she really is "a daughter of God." No matter what the old voices in her head say, she pictures herself sitting at God's feet. She is safe there.

Where are you safe?
