Christopher and I talk about the darkness that surrounds us all, particularly during the holiday season where it is frankly not allowed. You are supposed to show up holly jolly, no matter what. I'm fortunate that my sponsor gives me permission to speak freely about my darker side, and the result is exorcizing it by sharing it out loud.
On this wonderful evening, we lit candles, turned a lovely fire on the big screen TV, and kicked around some of these darkness concepts.
"Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is" - Carl Jung
How do counteract darkness? Shine a light on it! - Our hope tonight will give you permission to shine a light on your darker side.
Thank You For Allowing Me to Participate in my Recovery in this Manner Today!
Enjoy!!
