Im Movin On

When i first got clean and sober i met this wonderful man that taught me so very much.. he is one of the things i am grateful for today. Anyway... i had been clean for a few years and still struggled with guilt for the things i had done when i was drinking and drugging. I would get in my head ( my head is not my friend and i should NEVER go there alone!!! lol) and beat myself up all the time. One day i was in a meeting and shared some of the things i was thinking and feeling. After the meeting, he came up to me and handed me a CD, told me i had to learn to separate my "using self" from my "clean and sober self" and he wanted me to listen to this song...

Im Moving On - Rascal Flatts

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

It took days of listening to it to understand what he was trying to get me to understand...
I am writing this post to ask all of you what the words to this song stirs in you... please share with me as i know just about everything in this life is all about perception.. i am just curious what others get out of the words....

have an awesome day and thanks for sharing with me!!
