Unfinished Business

[Gabe]

These thoughts were inspired by a quote from Melody Beatty's audiotape of "Codependent No More".
The quote was "Why am I letting all these people carry their unfinished business into their relationships with me?"
Oh yeah and uh-huh.
Not only have I experienced that, I have done it.
I think those of us in recovery programs realize early on that part of what we're trying to work out and through and beyond is unfinished business.
From our past relationships.
And I don't think we can move on in a healthy way until we put that baggage down and decide to be "all done".
The period at the end of the sentence.
The end of the neverending story.
Our new beginnings never really start until we are really done with our endings.
So I guess we still keep toting that baggage around until we are really ready to be "all done" and embark on a different journey.
With a new and better way of relating to life and people and ourselves.
Night thoughts.
