Finding Our Own Truth

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been sick and have company all at the same time. But have missed each one of you. I find myself with a bit of time so thought I would get together a little something ...sure didn't take long to find that something. Last I wrote I was going to sit with some feelings. To be honest I didn't sit too long. With being sick and having company I've not been able to find the good mental space needed in order to do this. So I have been finding myself putting it off...not a good thing for an alkie to do for too long. I came across this read today ~
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go.


Finding Our Own Truth

We must each discover our own truth.

It does not help us if those we love find their truth. They cannot give it to us. It does not help if someone we love knows a particular truth in our life. We must discover our truth for ourselves.

We must each discover and stand in our own light.

We often need to struggle, fail, and be confused and frustrated. That's how we break through our struggle; that's how we learn what is true and right for ourselves.

We can share information with others. Others can tell us what may predictably happen if we pursue a particular course. But it will not mean anything until we integrate the message and it becomes our truth, our discovery, our knowledge.

There is no easy way to break through and find our truth.

But we can and will, if we want to.

We may want to make it easier. We may nervously run to friends, asking them to give us their truth or make our discovery easier. They cannot. Light will shed itself in its own time.

Each of us has our own share of truth, waiting to reveal itself to us. Each of us has our own share of the light, waiting for us to stand in it, to claim it as ours.

Encouragement helps. Support helps. A firm belief that each person has truth available -- appropriate to each situation -- is what will help.

Each experience, each frustration, each situation, has its own truth waiting to be revealed. Don't give up until you find it -- for yourself.

We shall be guided into truth, if we are seeking it. We are not alone.

Today, I will search for my own truth, and I will allow others to do the same. I will place value on my vision and the vision of others. We are each on the journey, making our own discoveries -- the ones that are right for us today.


It occurred to me that's what I'm trying to do...find my own truth. Yet the truth is so very hard to find when it's mixed with fear, desire and avoidance. I know what my head says is not the truth...thank God for the program. I also know deep within me the truth is there...that still small voice that resides in each and everyone of us. Fear says turn away you dare not look...look I must if I want to progress with my sobriety. A friend said today that I must be cured...if he only knew what a trembling mess I am just underneath. We all just laughed and of course I said that was far from the truth. I am so grateful for this program and all that it has given to me. Even though it feels like I'm walking through some fog at the moment I know the path is there. I am grateful for all the many people that walk beside me everyday...I could not do it without you.
