ACCEPTING THE TRUTH/SELF OTHERS

[TomNolds]

Hello to All !! I'm taking you up on your offer to express myself with your Love and Encouragement. Again Thanks you know who you are. Blessing or Curse. Oh yes, the hangovers,guilt and remorse and the physical damage done to our bodies is sometimes unbearable. So why is Alcohol in our lives?? I don't know. Why is diabetes,cancer any and all other diseases in other people's lives?? Don't know. As far as Alcohol seems today, I'm learning to love myself and self acceptance and self-expression. It's easy to fit in any group but being your true self seems to be a challenage. Looking back on alot of guilt and remorse ,I realize I said and did what a true friend would say and do. Then felt bad about telling the truth. So look forward to loving myself and others and telling the truth without Alcohol and accepting the truth from others. Again Thanks !! You are an answer to my prayers. Light-Love-Healing and Understanding As Always,Tom

ACCEPTING THE TRUTH/SELF OTHERS

BB. Yes I agree. Sober is better. I question myself if I tell the truth when sober. Just trying to fit in. Say I do it TO fit in? Learning to express all my feeling just not the one's people like to hear. That is easy but not healing to at this time as al ways Tom.

Yes, the truth is the best route. Sometime the very hardest to face and express. But from experience once told and out in the open it is like a weight off your shoulders not matter than outcome.

Is painful sometimes...the truth, but you have to start somewhere.

most profound Tom. my tagline is a reminder to be true and honest with myself..truly the hardest but most rewarding challenge in my living years...and it's never ending. the dynamics of our lives change just when we think we are getting somewhere! at least our coping tools and strengths can grow to rise up to the next challenge. Thank you for sharing Tom, be well.

Tom, the truth at first can be ugly, but once examined and accepted can be a thing of cleansing and a blessing and eventually beauty

ACCEPTING THE TRUTH/SELF OTHERS

Thanks Tom, yes the truth is the way to go...the sober truth. What I have found about these boards is that when I am posed with a question I try to answer it truthfully. Then I wait and see what others say and realize that what I said was in fact the truth, but it barely scratched the surface of what I truly felt. I need to dig a bit deeper sometimes and not be so superficial. I think that has been a problem for me all my life. Never letting people get past the surface. Never letting anybody get too close to see me or hurt me. Oddly enough, I guess that included myself as well. I need to tell myself the truth as well.
