Am I The Only One?

Aside from being completely elated that I was an addict, and that there was hope for me, I wondered if I was the only one with a "process addiction."

I had never even heard of process addictions.

Was that even a thing?
Or, were they just trying to put me in a box that wasn't even in existence?

Of course I Googled process addiction.

It's real, I found.

I researched and researched the differences between substance and process, the way addiction effects ALL addicts' brains, the paths of hope for addicts, etc.

I still felt a bit alone, though.

And I felt a stigma...

But not from regular folks.

I was scared to talk about my addiction, in fear that substance addicts would judge me and tell me that I wasn't a "real addict."

Then I attended my first 12-step meeting.

The 12-step meetings I attend are for ALL addictions.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE addicts?!

It was there that I felt a tangible Spirit I had never quite felt before.

It was there that I felt whole.

It was there that I felt seen and heard and loved and NOT judged.

It was there that I realized that I am NOT the only one.

There are so many of us.

And, we are worthy.

If you are struggling to understand how to let go of your addictions, please reach out!

There is hope!

And happiness.

And health ahead.

Keep trying.

Keep walking.

You are seen and heard and loved AND WORTHY.

If you would like to work with me one-on-one, please reach out to me.
