Starting Over is INSANE!

When you go through some massive trauma in your life it is important to allow yourself the time and the courtesy to get well. Physically or mentally. Go into your cocoon and take that time to heal! But do it in a way that is healthy. Just because you went though something terrible that caused you severe trauma does not mean you should just try to burry it in pills, alcohol or food.

It took me a year to heal from circumstances that I would never wish on anyone! And I am certain that it would have taken me a lot longer had I let myself become weaker by drowning my sorrows in pills. And trust me I could have gotten them if I wanted them! I was clinically and mentally sick. Any doctor would have given me a prescription. But I think it is so much better to deal with it.
Feel those feelings, and then let them go...becoming stronger and better than you ever were. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Just like taking the easy road and drowning in tequila will only lead to more problems. So I never chose that road, in fact because I knew how unstable I was...I purposely chose to avoid alcohol for the last year. I wanted a drink or relief from my pain and feelings so badly but I knew it would only lead to more hurt if I did. Hurt for me but more importantly more hurt for my family. And they deserve better. They really do.

So now that I am healed and mentally sound...and doing alright for myself with my book, watch out world! Here I come! And to everyone out there, stay strong AND BE REAL!!!!
