Hurdles

When we have an emotional injury from childhood that hasn't been realized or properly dealt with, we have a predisposition to seeking a lifestyle that incorporates similarities of that injury.  Abused can seek abusers, addicts center their life around that substance, the abandoned crave any kind of attention (bad is the easiest), living without rules and you seek to manipulate, excessive cricitism can lead to depression & eating disorders, and the list goes on.

Hurdle #1 is when someone points that problem out in us. It may be very hard for us to accept it as "MY problem", so hurdle #2 is realizing we need help.  Once we piece our history with our actions, to our current problems, our demeanor starts to change.  Hurdle #3 is getting to the point that we realize this is a normal reaction when we finally admit our denial to the original problem.

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the opportunity to realize these things in ourself without someone pointing a finger at us.....but.....you have to be in the group first!!
