I'm on my last leg not looking forward to these next couple of days to come. I'm here asking for encouraging words.

Sometimes our journey take us to a point where we are alone at sea, in the middle of a storm.
We are equipped to deal with everything the storm sends as long as we use the tools we have.
Point the bow into the waves. We can't take a big hit from the sides, and can't lean too far. We are better at taking life head on than we are are being blind sided.
Trim the sails, or the winds will drive us into the shore, or tear the canvas. Don't go running head long. We may find ourselves hurt and in dangerous places by our impatience.
Find a lighthouse and follow its light. Lighthouses always mark dangerous shores, but they also mark safe harbour. If you don't have a guide in all this find one. We will get lost alone. A guide will show us the dangers and the safe spaces.
Turn on your radio and let the coastguard know your location. Open communication and reach put for help. Make sure that the line works both ways.
You can do this. It is scary.

I use to be scared of the water it's a wonder that I find myself out in the middle of the sea. Am I running on adrenaline at this point? Cuz I feel the cutter that was in the dope was stronger then the dope...at this point waiting for the pain to settle in bones ... Can I raise my head up enough to see a light ?
Always.

How are you doing?
I know those feelings. It took me months to get past them. That’s the hard part, it’s slow. Get in a support group of some type and hit meetings. It makes a huge difference.
