Opening Remarks

This personal recovery journal includes my thoughts about everything going on in my life and in the world today. It only partly pertains to love addiction. It is for me and those who follow my thoughts.

I believe journals are part of the healing process. Writing reveals hidden secrets from our unconscious that we need to know, process, and accept before me can move on. Writing is a catharsis. Writing is our legacy to those we leave behind.

I have been keeping journals since I was ten years old, when I kept a diary about my love addiction. It is interesting to read. Sometimes it makes me sad. But most of all, it reminds me of just how far I have come.

Since my recovery began on November 7, 1982, I have been on a spiritual journey. Much of my writings reflect this. Today, I am exploring the Catholic faith which is very interesting.

If you are interested in all this, read the following threads. Feel free to comment.
