One of the hardest things to face and heal is addiction. I know because I battled it myself for years. I hid under the coat of my addiction to survive the pain of living; and it was not until I was honest with myself that I was able to begin change. It was only when I surrendered to my truth that the healing began. This meditation is journey of truth and acceptance. Together, we travel through the mind of a person who is stuck in a cycle. We stand in honesty and take a good look at the pain; a place of darkness where the only possibility is light. A place where there is nothing else to do with shame and fear but lay them down. The journey blooms into a call for self-forgiveness and compassion. It is in forgiveness that we can honor our truth and heal. It is in the truth that we can be empowered to recover and claim our life. I am honored to share this meditation with you. You can do this. You can. First, we recover. Then, we thrive.
