hello my friend. wow, so brave to share one's story. i've never done it. well if i did it would be awfully shocking. so wait for the book and you know journaling and writing for you is a good thing. you have much to share even unto yourself and much to reveal even unto yourself. mainly, you have much to revel in that you are such a beautiful soul that made it through such challanges. overcoming much and really a fault of us is to deal with it the booze deadened the pain. but i can see you are ready for a new challange in life called i come first and i am worth it.
i have been writing about lonliness darling and i thought i'd share just a bit of what i've written before i run off and catch a plane. maybe you will find some comfort. i find loneliness to be a culprit for many a person.
LONELINESS
so, today I vow to do this. When I feel the silent call of loneliness beckon me:
I will be lonely. I will learn my way through and inside of loneliness. I shall learn to call her my friend. Maybe I can make a map and a game board of loneliness with little game pieces (maybe at times I’ll be a horse, or a dog, or a child or a barbi, or a house like in monopoly) that i can use to hold my place along my journey.
And when I roll the dice, I shall chart my path. If I land upon a crossroad, I can call a card and experience that mystery with adventure, and I shall say slight trepidation. Instead of backing away and hiding or finding a new addiction, I can simply embrace loneliness. So,
let me again say to myself: sit with your loneliness, (eat, pray, love-- elizabeth)
learn your way around this new found territory
explore the globe and
make a map of it.
welcome to the human experience.
but never again use another person’s body or emotions as a scratching post for your own
unfulfilled yearnings.
so i read this book eat, pray and love. she wrote a bit on lonely and i'm well stretching that out........ so maybe this helps
