How to heal fully and properly.
Almost a year with no alcohol
As I type this, I am 302 days alcohol free. Many of you have read those lines with different numbers, followed closely by a life changing event that makes everything sound perfect. This gives the reader a glimpse of the ending. That's fair in the blog world.

The damaged wing
It was the longest summer of my life, the heat was torturous and unrelenting, like my life. It all started in May, I lost my job and soon was having money troubles and found myself wondering how I’d be able to survive, by the end of June, I had received my eviction notice and had to leave my two-bed apartment in the City. I had sold most of my belongings by this point to try to afford everyday essentials like food, the gas and electric, but it quickly went.

You have to Let Go Sometimes. Top Story - October 2021.
I believe that the one quality that we humans, at least most of us haven't been able to develop or inculcate so far in our nature is acceptance. You will hardly find anyone accepting things the way they are, accepting the things that can't be changed, being okay with the incidents or accidents of the past, accepting the shortcomings and imperfections of the present, and the uncertainty of the future.

Learning the True Nature of Growth
Maturity does not come with age, just as it does not come with days. To be honest, I haven't felt like myself in recent weeks. I felt worse because of what I know to be inaccurate criticism of a person. I let myself drown in feelings I thought I should be feeling in order to make this person feel awful. Weeks passed, and I kept myself occupied on social media, which I rarely did. A quote I read on Facebook stuck with me, "Don't look at the things they couldn't do; instead, embrace the things they could." That was when I learned I shouldn't try to push things to happen. I shouldn't put myself in circumstances that I don't want to be in. And, most importantly, I should refrain from doing so. It seemed to me that others should not be compelled to treat and speak to you in the manner in which you addressed them because if a person really respects you, you shouldn't have to tell them what to do. You shouldn't make someone be as rational as you. To be able to express themselves without hurting anyone's feelings. I discovered that some people can disguise their worries when no one is looking, but I couldn't. When I'm with them, I act accordingly and express my real personality. I've made mistakes and know I've hurt people's feelings, but never to the extent of criticizing someone's parents since I knew I couldn't fully comprehend the situations. Now that I understand the true meaning of growth and how it evolves, I'll continue to learn how to be better and more compassionate. I understand the need of letting go. I think there's one person who will test your patience, but remain believing in yourself that you have the ability to let go and approach them the same way you approach others. It would be difficult, but I know you can do it. Have faith in yourself at all times. Never overlook the fact that he is there to guide you.

Life Adventures
This life is freaking crazy. I swear, you can't even make this shit up. I am beginning to think that there is no such thing as normal. I don't know about the people that you have in your life, but mine is f**** crazy. I am about to get a divorce atfer 30 years of marraige. It sucks, but it is also very liberating. I am on a self discovery mission....on an incredible journey. After all these years, I get an amazing blast from the past! I re-connected with my first boyfriend who was my first love from junior high. I was only 13 years old. He wisked me away and took me to Europe to get me away from my crazy husband. Holy crap!!! It is so f***** awesome.

Remain Calm Under Pressure
Remain Calm Under Pressure: Narcissistic People Hate That “Patience Is Not the Ability to Wait: Patience is not the ability to wait. Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities, and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.”― Roy T. Bennett

The Surprising Tool That Kickstarted My Healing Journey
In September 2019, I was in the midst of a five-year health crisis and struggling to simply survive each day. I felt like my body was holding me hostage. I was crawling to get to the bathroom. I could barely feed myself, and could no longer sleep upstairs in my bedroom because seizures had become common and I was worried about falling down the stairs.
