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.

tatoo

An article regarding the winner of the Australian open, Stan Wawrinka, spoke about his new tatoo. The tatoo is a quote of Samuel Beckett. It says, "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail better." The article indicates Wawrinka had the mantra tatooed on his arm after one to many defeats.

I like "Fail better." Doesn't that apply to recovery and to the many attempts to correct or modify our many faults...what ever those faults might be? We "ever try...ever fail." We need to say "never matter. Try again."" This time "fail better." Get more time between the drinking episodes. Drink less. Eat less..Get more time between the binges...get more time between the gambling ...between the times I yell at the kids. "never matter...Try again...Fail better."

It is a journey. It is a process. God reaches His hand and picks us up to Try again....

Fail better this time.
