Living through my feelings


A friend checked in on me today and asked how I was doing.

I told him “Doing well. Some sadness this week but living through it.”

He asked me about the sadness. I told him it was about losses: house/home, relationship. I’m grieving stuff that either became more definite this week or about which I am finally allowing myself to feel sad. Some events that happened this week brought these to the forefront to feel.

So it’s healthy living life on life’s terms.

Just new for this addict. 🙂

Remembering my bottom–Dec 21 2009


I’m sad and burdened for the hopelessness of that lost and hurting soul, knowing that even today others are trapped in the same shackles.

But the tears are flowing even more out of a deep sense of peace, joy and gratitude for the freedom and grace I’ve found in the journey.

I pray for the still suffering addict or alcoholic that they will find the inner strength to reach out for help. Hope is not lost; there is freedom and life.

Miracles do happen.

Hold on….
