I decided to start this blog to share what I’m discovering about myself in this healing journey I’m currently on. Many times I have felt alone and lost or just.. not normal. In the midst of these dark times of my life, I failed to remember that I am not the only one dealing with struggles. I was afraid to ask for help or share my feelings for fear of what others would think of me. That there, the fear, is probably one of my biggest issues and that’s why I’m sharing now. In doing so, Im hoping to remind others they aren’t alone and they can heal, too. Everyone’s healing will be different but maybe reading this can be thought provoking or helpful to someone in their own path to healing.
I’ll be sharing my experiences with addiction, alcoholism, and depression with suicidal ideation. I didn’t know that I could heal these things, I just thought it would be my lifelong struggle. It’s when I fell into spirituality where I learned that I could be better, and how. It was going to take getting real honest with myself, about myself. Its in journaling that I’ve been able to analyze and learn about myself and a little about others. I also began seeing a therapist to help me dig a little deeper and understand my thought patterns. While it hasn’t been pretty, it’s been effective, and for that, I am so grateful.
