wrinting about it is a good start , back in the dayz before the nets.
we use pin and papers.lol
I wouldn't recommend putting everything on the net as the same
as blurring out everything in a meeting.
Some issues are personal , so a sponsor, therapist would probably
be better to discuss certain issues.
It's not ment to condem or me. it's ment for me to figure who the heck
i am.
I started off , just keeping a journal.
Then i just started writing.
At the very least that stuff wasn't spinding in my head.
It's on paper, so anytime I wish to look at it, I could.
plus i didn't have to carry that stuff around all the time in my head.
plus putting it on paper aside from my hed. I can see clearer and
it was less confusing. There was so many things going on in my head..if you
know what I mean. It also help me to recognize certain patterns.
Kind of like getting a bird's eye veiw of what I was doing or that
way i was living.
plus as i write , i also process certain emotions or i learned to
feel emotions.
wrinting gave me a safe platform to express and process my emotions.
some people would say i was doing step #4...i don't know...
never the less recovery is about getting sober. And staying sober
is not easy if i was to carry all that crap inside of me.
some would term it Clean House.
plus sometimes if I have a bad day..I can always go dig up some
of my old journal and read them lol ..man was I wacked.
It's healing in a way when i can laugh at myself.
