Grief Letter to My Addiction

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Dear Mark,

I want you to know Mark that you have been completely forgiven.  Not for some of the bad things that you have done but 100% forgiven for all the harm you have caused others and mostly harm you have brought upon yourself.  I want you to feel like a thousand pounds has been lifted off your chest.  I want you to experience the freedom that comes with letting go completely.  A new slate is being presented to you to work with.  Love yourself, like yourself, make the right choices.  Run from evil, turn away from temptation.  Most of all do the right thing when no ones looking.

Mark R

RUNNING

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

 

Some people use drugs

Some people use sex

Some people turn to the bottle

Some turn to violence becoming plain thugs

Others keep moving or don’t move at all

Then there are those adrenaline junkies going full throttle

So many of us obessed with being perfect, having control and making money

Running from people who did not show love

Running from people who loved them too much

Running from abusers, prepetrators and nightmares there of

Running to escape nightmares that haunt them

Running from responsibility

Or taking on too much

All of this running just to escape someone or something

Never realizing that what they are running from is themselves

We spend so much time searching to fill some big void

Looking for love, acceptence and approval

Searching to fulfill that wounded child that just wants to be hugged

Stop running

Sit still

 The search is over

Embrace your power

Change your mind

Listen to your heart

The answer has been there all along
