Lost and Found


Over the last year, I have lost a lot of things. From family to even a divorce. So now I sit with a heavy heart. I am starting to question my higher power. How much bullshit can a person go through before you break? By break, I mean mentally. As I keep going I tell myself it will get better. I haven't picked up a drink or drug. That gives me strength. Cause the old me would run and never face these things alone. I have caught myself wanting to isolate. But I do have good friends that see these traits and pull me back into reality. All though I feel in shambles I keep pushing forward. I know nothing is permanent. As far as feelings are concerned. I am looking for a therapist. That much I do know. They help with so much.

I feel like I have nothing more to give. This is my awareness kicking in. Telling me to change what I am doing about my feelings. I need to talk more about the things I go through. Grief is hard. But I keep my faith that something better is on its way. Cause there is always light at the end of the tunnel. So I just keep praying that life will get easier. One day at a time. Maybe I need to get a sponsor and start working the steps again. Step work is a great way to get to come to peace with life. It has been like two years since I worked any steps. So when the going gets hard. Turn back to the basics that got you to where you were happy.

That is what recovery means. Finding the people that are there for you when you can not be.

I have made friends and lost friends on this journey. You good sir are one of those friends that I am happy to have made.
