My Inner Child Won't Be Quiet
Would you give a cigarette to a crying child to soothe her? Would you give that child a glass of wine or other drink? Are you crazy? Absolutely NOT; that 's ridiculous, right? ============================ Look again, because that is EXACTLY what adult addictions are doing. Giving a substance to a hurting child. The Inner Child. ============================== And this isn't just about the obvious drugs [nice try]...it's about your "drug of choice"--ANYthing you use to deny, distract from, avoid or ignore the emotional pain. So the next time you reach for that second donut, or beer, or go shopping, or work late or play video games till 2 am.....remind yourself that you're not doing this FOR yourself; you're doing it TO yourself.
Your little inner self. ================================ There is another way, Peaches. You could let the pain out; let the inner child be heard in safety and with compassion. You could give yourself what you never got before.
I know it's scary; I know you don't think you can do it; I know it feels too late....
and I know it will hurt.....but then it will heal.
