Hello!

So I've noticed more traffic on my blog and I thought I'd take some time to talk a little bit about why I am doing this. Why am I sharing my story? Why am I sharing some of my journal entries?

You see,1 year and 2 months ago I thought that no one could understand what I was going through. I felt alone. I thought I was crazy. The emotions that I experienced were exhausting. I was exhausted. It wasn't until I found other people who could relate to me did I realize that I wasn't actually crazy.

Honestly, I don't remember how I found it but I was searching on Facebook and found a group called Codependent Connection. Finding this group was a huge turning point for me. Listening to people talk and be able to relate to me was life changing. I wasn't crazy. I wasn't alone. There was someone who understood how I was feeling. I could actually explain my thoughts and feelings and they could understand and sometimes even make sense of the craziness that I was feeling and couldn't put into words. I remember trying to explain a feeling one time and Anna told me she knew exactly what I was feeling. Even elaborated on the feeling. It brought me to tears. Uncontrollable tears. When you've gone through something for so long and feel so alone, having someone who can relate and help you through the experience is really life changing. I know I've said that already but it is 100% true! It changed my life.

I am no expert on addiction or codependency, but I want to share my journey so I can help people feel less alone. I don't care if it's only one person I help. I want to someone to read my blog and know that I am here as a helping hand. I am someone who can listen, help and be a shoulder to cry on.

If you can relate to anything I've posted and want to chat, please reach out. I'd love to connect!
