Thought for the Day: “The most important freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.”
~ Jim Morrison
The Lizard King understood the problem, but didn’t seem to get the message about the solution. How are we doing at finding out who we really are and learning to love that person?
You might take a look at these folks. They’ve been tremendously helpful to me — changed my life, in fact, 23 years after I thought I was sober.

I am only just learning what my true self is after 11 years of recovery from substances and a hell of a lot of therapy. My self as a child was totally distorted by sexual, emotional and verbal abuse leaving me so traumatized that I thought I was going to be murdered in my mother’s house by serial killers who I thought were living in the house. I have now ejected the serial killers from my house and have stopped checking the laundry basket, chest of drawers and wardrobe for serial killers which I did for many years. I am no longer paranoid and in fear, I can travel abroad and mix normally with people. I am happier than I have ever been, have achieved sanity for the first time in my life, and believe I am now experiencing my true self. http://bit.ly/1ER5cLY
