Here it is, the evening before my quit!
I thought, all day, on what I would say at this one particular moment, and here it is:
Before me stretches a 28-year-long rope of unhealthy behaviors, knotted with indefensible excuses and tangled with unruly addictions. I, alone, made this rope; I, alone, will un-make this rope. I'm just so fortunate and very grateful that, for the first time, I have a community of teachers to show me how, and a fistful of mentors to keep me going.
My plan is in place, my supplies are ready, my mind is clear, my heart is firing up.
Bring on the sunrise, people! New day, new lessons, new experiences, NEW LIFE!
