One Day at a Time
~ ISOLATION ~
"A great hope fell, you heard no noise,
The ruin was within.
Oh, cunning wreck that, told no tale
And let no witness in!"
Emily Dickinson

"A great hope fell, you heard no noise,
The ruin was within.
Oh, cunning wreck that, told no tale
And let no witness in!"
Emily Dickinson
When I was young and unable to negotiate or put words to situations that were too big for me to understand, I went within and hid. I lost hope and was filled with despair. I soothed myself with food and it was always there for me. In time, I felt so isolated that I felt completely separate from the human race.
As I recover, it is important for me to use the tools of the program which reconnect me with other people. This connection says to me that I am okay. I always have a choice to isolate or to connect. Today I choose to connect.
One Day at a Time . . .
I ask my Higher Power for the ability and courage to reach out and connect to others by using the tools of the program.
