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😢
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
This was such a great read that really spans a relatable breadth of addiction.❤️
