Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. As we approach this new year take time to reflect on the positive things in your life. For those that are Narc free!!!! YEAHHHHH! Rejoice and be proud that you have made it over this hump. It takes a lot of courage and will power to take that leap of faith into the unknown. Letting go of the fear that once kept you paralyzed is now a thing of the past. A new and improved life is on the horizon for 2011!!!

For those members still involved and silent, rejoice in the fact that you have found people that know and understand what you have been through. You are on the verge of an awakening that will give you the power and strength to move forward into No Contact. Knowledge is where it all begins. Trust yourself to know what is the right plan of action to bring the peace you so need and desire. Know that we understand this is a process that takes time and baby steps. Make 2011 the year of conquering your fears. Fear of change, fear of the unknown. As fear keeps you in contact and this contact is the cause of your pain. In 2011 no longer will you be a spectator in the drama of your life, you are now looking towards actions that will will give you the peace and comfort you are in search of. Take a risk. Be bold. Live your life. There is a beautiful world that has been on pause waiting just for you!

We have a lot to look forward to in 2011. Our new website and recovery program are going to be a very welcomed gift. I will be on the site all day on the 31st of December so I hope that all of you that will be spending New Years Eve with us connect with me on the chat. I would love to talk to you one on one.

Have a wonderful holiday....blessings to your family.....and lets bring in 2011 with a positive actions in our recovery!! We all deserve it!!!

Lots of Love

Betty

Merry Christmas!

I love what you wrote, Betty and couldn't say it better myself. Here's a quote by an unknown author that summarizes the essence of this season: "If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? Or sit and watch the starts as did the shepherds? Or brood over the coming of the child as did Mary? For each one of us, there is a desert to travel. A start to discover, And a being within ourselves to bring to life." ~ Author unknown With the launch of our 6 Step Recovery program, we will begin to focus on finding ourselves again. This Christmas, I want you all to appreciate what a gift and a blessing you are, not only to yourself, but to the lives of many. I know I am grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for being a blessing in my life. Merry Christmas! Lots of Love, Lisa

...and Merry Christmas to

...and Merry Christmas to you Lisa. You must be a hero to so many people who have and are still struggling with abusive people in their lives. I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, but your work and accomplishments speak mounds about the good you have in your heart. Thank you Lisa for www.vainencounters.com and all the time and effort you have put into all the resources (book, etc.) you have made available. I have not quite made it to the place where everyone else is yet as Betty spoke of in her post...and feel like I am failing miserably with my "addiction" to his verbal affirmations, but I feel a solace here on the website and wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and your work. I pray for your continued strength peace and happiness. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
