Thank you for your eloquent vulnerability. Your words help us all to see ourselves a little more clearly, and move towards healing.
I find myself outraged and disturbed as you describe the adults that got a laugh out of watching you as a toddler finishing their beer. And I’m sure it’s because it’s touching my own nerve..... a piece of my own little Self, that was also laughed at and unseen😢
Thank you for receiving my story dear Sarah. There are so many ways I have underestimated underage addiction. I know better now but even my own parenting was permissive and certainly questionable based on my unresolved issues around this. I appreciate you being here for me!! So much love!
Wow, Kathleen! This one really hits home somehow. Weirdly, I had almost the opposite experience in childhood. No exposure to alcohol or cigarettes until high school, and even then, I was repulsed by them when I tried them. And yet I'm almost daring myself to create an alcohol addiction now in my 60s even as my stomach rejects it every time — and I really don't enjoy the feeling of losing control. I've been following you ever since we had a couple of sessions years ago and just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your teachings about breathwork and microdosing and your openness about addiction. xoC
Hello Carolyn! It is great to see you again! I am super curious about your aversion mixed with daring curiosity around addiction? Have you read the newsletter here "chaos can be dangerous"
Much of my addiction training talks about chaotic relationships with ourselves/substances as a indicator for increasing self care. Does that resonate?
Hi Kathleen! I just read "chaos can be dangerous." Not sure if it resonates. But I agree that we need to normalize drug use and talk about it more. I love microdosing and am so grateful to have found out about it. Perhaps I need to get back to doing it every third day as I did for the first year and pay more attention to what the medicine is telling me. ;)
This was such a great read that really spans a relatable breadth of addiction.❤️
Hello there!! thank you so much! it is an honour to see another stacker in the room!! I am happy you were able to relate. much more to come!
