my sponsor says I need to write it through

[irisblue]

through NOT out. So...I have written a page and a half, using lots lots of Kleenex. A purple pen, a purple penway composition book and here I go. May your journey be warm and soft...

1. Sounds good

We do need to work THROUGH our problems before the can be worked out... Some will never be completely worked through or out but they can be dealt with only after we have admitted they exist... Identifying and accepting them...

2. it will lose a lot of it's power once you look it straight on

and i promise the journey is worth getting to the other side

3. And it'll lose all of it's power after you burn it.

4. And someday (maybe soon!) you'll be so glad you did...

Taking the Steps seriously, working them, relying on a sponsor... It's more than just doing this. You're building the skills that will let you live a rewarding life.

encouragingly,
Bright

5. Writing fatigue

I'm lucky someone shared in a meeting they could only write for about an hour before becoming emotionally drained. I found out I needed to keep writing sessions about an hour, a few times a week.

6. About an hour of such intense stuff sounds like a good idea. nt
