There is nothing that I can say that won't be said, or has already been said, about this... Turns out I'm not real eloquent in this matter, and all I have to offer is my own experience...
I relied on substances for so long to make things go right, to fill up that emptiness, this smear across my psyche, or soul... I tried to play master of my own universe, ultimately I crashed...
So, it can be as simple as ceding one's own spot at the center of the universe, and trusting that life (certainly life itself is a power greater than I), will, in fact go on and that I might have a part in it... and that I might be happy..
I can go on from there... God, Christ, Holy Spirit, that all works for me too, The Holy Trinity... But you don't have to understand or believe that, not even one bit... but that's life (itself), isn't it?... LOL... It's all good!
