I knew that everyone in the room would not judge me and would listen to every word I said

As someone who barely opens up to other people, this was a big deal. I look back now with fond memories of that weekend. Yes, there were painful moments but what made them beautiful was that everyone was hurting together. No one was hurting alone. While I would love to go into further detail of that weekend, I am choosing to keep the rest of it offline for safekeeping. I am open to questions about the experience, but will not be discussing my bunkmates because I want to keep their privacy.

Whether your addiction is alcohol, food, drugs, sex, gambling, spending, or something else, it’s about seeking escape from fear & pain by trying to numb them

The biggest lesson for me so far is the fact that the ONLY thing I can control is me. And that’s on my good days 😉 Most of us know that intellectually. But until we really GET it & embrace it, we live in fear, anger, resentment, self pity, envy, ego, blame, worry, regret, & sadness. We get so used to living this way, we often don’t even realize our toxic state.
