I am starting to get a life a never had nor thought "I"could have.

Always thought "that" life was for other people but some how I was just not standing in the right line when we got dispersed here on Earth.

:-))

Love it, love it, love it. Right now I am just beginning my journey. I am working on Melody Beattie's book Codependent No More and getting ready to attend meetings. Recuperating from a hopsital stay last week from bacterial pneumonia. Over the weekend, one step-son got a DUI, second one. My spouse got rip roaring drunk. Did and said some horrific things. Despite getting over this pneumonia, I was able to step up and tell it like I meant it. The first time in a long, long time. The time has come to move on and get a life. Now I know age has no barrier. I am not getting older, but a whole lot better.

I do not have a life but have taken one step on the recovery path of getting one. Therapy is going to be so hard but I want a life.

Getting a life, whatever that might be. Still don't know. Wish I did.

Starting to get a life, but sometimes this road can be a tough one.

I am very scared for what lies ahead, too many repress feelings, but I have no choice but do this because I want lo live MY LIFE!
I want to know me! because I know I can learn to love and accept myself...

I want to start getting a life.

this journey is scaring me so much butI want to get a life... I feel I want to live my life and discover how I truly feel and make decisions own my own without the fear for making the wrong one, and allow myself to make mistakes...
I want to praise Jesus Christ because he has brought me this far! and he makes me strong! because of his love I am here...

I love this! I'm going to add it to my simple sayings... Those are the best :) I'm starting to get a life. I'm working out more, taking my daughter to fun places, keeping my home more clean, listening to more music, hanging with a friend and talking to my sister. I guess it's not much, but it's mine :)

Getting a life and it's a very good thing.

I think everyone always has a life. But that some are afraid to go live it. I know I was.

i am starting to love me have done no contact with him for a month now and see how abusive its all been i going to the gym doing my nails im starting to feel better sometimes i want a life i deserve to be happy id rather be alone than unhappy

i love sound bites, and i think what you said a codependant is someone lacking a life is true, often they find it easier to live their lives thru others eyes and people please, thanks for sharing.

I find that I don't have much of a life because I won't allow myself to be happy. I'm punishing myself because my marriage didn't work out. I KNOW that my STBX's verbal and alcohol abuse what the key reason why, yet I still punish myself because of my own long-held belief that marriage is for better or worse. I've got to let myself off the hook, but just don't know how. Working on it.

I'm getting a life but sometimes i dip my toe into not having a life .... work in progress ;-)
