Being a person that always wanted answers, I started reading some self help books. My quest for recovery from some emotional issues, as well as, my addiction led to a book called "Healing the Child Within" - by Charles L Whitfield M.D.

With all the book offered, there is one part I really liked and thought about - Couldn't remember it verbatium, so I found it at the local library. Was really surpised it was at the local library, but a lot of things are surprising me lately. My interpretation of it is - a cycle, or mind set that changed for the better.

hope y'all don't mind me sharing this.

1) I walk down a street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…I am hopeless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find my way out.

2) I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

3) I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in…it’s a habit.
My eyes are wide open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.


4) I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

5) I walk down another street.
