TOPIC: How Similar Is Your Life To That Of Michael Jackson?
Hi, Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and u I am truely grateful.
How similar is your life to that of
Michael Jackson?
As I listen to the story of Michael
Jackson unfold since the time of
his death I can shake my head yes
and say that there r some parts
of my life that r similar to that of
his.
Stemming down from his childhood,
Michael delt with abuse at the hands
of his father.
Over the yrs he faught his demons,
altho a private person he seeked
public attention, had emotional
challenges thru out his life.
He internalized everything and yet
he had no inner strength to ward off
those demons.
He had anxiety around people in order to
live up to their expectations.
His death still a mystery yet today he
has no more pain, sorrow or heartache.
As i reflect back on my abusive
childhood, i too internalized many
things. I kept a lot of emotions
lock tight inside me for many yrs.
You dont think that abuse can
affect u ur intire life and yet it
can as it did Michael.
Abuse has also haunted me all my
life as well.
Im a private person myself yet when
im around others, i like taking the
spot light. I too crave attention yet
i dont seek it.
All my life ive had to live up to others
expectations...my family, work....
Having been brought up to where
everything has to be perfect like
in a museum....that was always a
challenge.
Anxiety has always been there in front.
Always anxious to go somewhere's, to
be around others.
Alcohol became my crutch to numb
me so i could have the courage to
do the things i wouldnt normally do.
Today, 18 yrs sober, i am still plagued
by the memories of my childhood and
the after affects it has held on to me.
With my AA program, it has allowed
me to move slowly forward and not
be held prisoner to the past as much
as it use to be. Thank God.
I like Michael may never be completely
free of the pain sorrow or heartache
until my HP is ready to take me.
Do you feel the same way as Michael's
did with his life?
