a good read...
I don't know if this is where to post this. I have been doing well the last few months with rocky points throughout. The main problem I have is not accepting that abuse could have the effect on me that it does (even though I've seen so much heal in the past couple years). I still expect myself to be stronger.
And I am stronger because I am not doing the things I used to do to try to mask the pain. I still numb out though and dissappear into my own little world. But I'm not letting myself stay there as much and I'm not feeding my addictions. I am reading more and I found this article that I wanted to share. It reminds me that the difficulty of the journey isn't a deficiency in who I am, but a testimony to my resiliance.
The article triggered me, but it talks about where we are as men in our collective and individual recoveries and the limitations of society's understanding. I hope it's something of value to others.
