Yesterday evening, I had a very interesting experience. I accompanied a friend to a meeting for recovering addicts. It was very moving and eye-opening. I had never been to such a meeting but found it to be refreshing. Everyone seemed to be open and honest and there was no judgment. I thought about how it would be nice if "normies" could also have a safe haven to visit where we could discuss our feelings and thoughts with a group and feel no shame. There are plenty of times when I have felt like talking to someone about what has gone on during my day and how it makes me feel. Sometimes just verbalizing things like that helps and releases it from our minds. That seemed to be how it worked for those attending the meeting last night. Maybe with all of the stresses that people are enduring these days such as job loss, poor economy, health issues, etc., a group called Life Anonymous would be a good thing to have around. A place where people can go and talk to others who are experiencing similar things or who have made it through hardships and can offer insight. I think it would help so many people. And it would be a way to reach out to those in need because we never know when it will be our turn to need help.
Smiling,
