Learning to deal with pain. Hmmm. It's a toughie and not something I've ever wanted to do, hence addictions of various kinds and mental illness galore.
I am feeling pain, I am going through pain. I am believing everyone who says there is another side to it. I want to grow up. I want to get better and I realize there is no way to get there but by going through this. One day at a time.

Amen. One day at a time, sometimes for me it's one moment at a time. I marvel at some people I know who seem so damn "normal" and they don't even know what an addcition feels like. I've switched addictions several times and still struggle here and there with this and that.
My journey is different than yours - I think I have more depression than pain these days. But we both have hope (even when it doesn't feel like it)

Found you via Soigo....and just wanted to take a moment and encourage you....
And really the best I can do is pray for you.....and offer up friendship in however you need it...there is HOPE....I don't know just felt like reaching out to you....
I followed your link through SoIGo and wanted you to know that you are not alone. I know what it's like living one day at a time, although it's been a few years since Jesus helped me ovecome my drug addiction and other lousy habits. I still have areas that need great help, but I've learned to put my hope in God and to see Him answer my prayers in ways I never dreamed possible. Hope has a way of blossoming and springing to life. I too struggle with loneliness and pain, and I've found that if the only relationship I have is with Jesus, still it is enough. Some days are harder than others, but that's why we live one day at a time. Keep searching; Jesus want to know you too...
Thank you all for reaching out to me. I really didn't expect to hear from anyone, so it was a fun moment for me to open my blog and actually have comments. My tiny, contracted world feels like it is expanding. Hurray! I'm a little nervous about all this, but it seems to be the direction in which I'm being lead.
