Listened ...Just fell into the Internet for 2 hours. Listened to the song, Like it! Watched a Russel Brand documentary on addiction, Like it, went on a convoluted journey through related videos (is that still a word??) and ended up watching Monica Lewinsky doing a Ted Talk about The Price of Shame. Whilst at first glance this may not appear relevant, it totally is, as there is so much shame involved in addiction. I was living in the U.S. at the time of the scandal and despite being sober I JUDGED poor Monica for everything that happened. Watching that Ted Talk activated my compassion chip for Monica and for me. I genuinely wanted to give her a hug and apologise for MY small part in judging her and anything negative I said about her at the time. I felt for her an felt she didn't deserve the bad wrap she got. Not to take away from the story but maybe us addicts should turn that compassion on ourselves since the running narrative has been shaming all the time. Well done Sober Mommy on giving back and encouraging us all to give a little to someone else. A very worthy post indeed. I think there is plenty of room in my life to give and for-give myself and others. This was the nudge I needed.Groundhog Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896347749384197279noreply@blogger.com
