Welcome to our Newest Members-

NOISE!
You ever notice how we keep busy, busy, and we have the radio on, or the TV on, or we are working, or cleaning, or talking on the phone.
I don't know about you but I know now that the reason I keep so busy, busy, busy is cuz I don't want to hear that small voice inside that is trying to get my attention.
The noise and busyness can help me stay numb to emotions that I don’t want to feel.
Just like the alcohol and drugs it can keep me from dealing with problems,it distracts me from having to think, and makes it easier for me to forget reality.
Drowning out the thoughts and emotions I find uncomfortable or overwhelming just complicates my life more, the problems just linger, and they tend to pile up.
Do you want to know what that small voice is inside of you is saying? Listen to it. Turn off the TV and all noise and listen. Sit with your eyes closed in a room alone and listen. It is the voice that is calling you to do something that is difficult.
When I tune out the noise and just sit in silence that is when I am gonna hear my consciense or God if you will.
That is the space I will find out what I am hiding and what I am hiding from.
It is only then that my self examination can begin and I can begin to stare down frightening issues. It is when I will see the truth.
It is scary at first especially if you are still drinking/using or have just recently stopped.
Silence is very scary because it is a time when you are faced squarely with you and the truth.
When you go within without being distracted by noise to shield you from yourself, you will be guided, your truth will come through.
It takes faith and real courage to face our true innermost self. But until we face ourselves head on we will be living in denial of who we really are. It can be painful, very painful.
Embracing silence and looking deep within no matter how painful allows me to work through my thoughts and my emotions and to seek real solutions.
So turn off the noise!
