A Recovery Blog

This blog is about my continuing recovery from severe mental illness and addiction. I celebrate this recovery by continuing to write, by sharing my music and artwork and by exploring Buddhist and 12 Step ideas and concepts. I claim that the yin/yang symbol is representative of all of us because I have found that even in the midst of acute psychosis there is still sense, method and even a kind of balance. We are more resilient than we think. We can cross beyond the edge of the sane world and return to tell the tale. A deeper kind of balance takes hold when we get honest, when we reach out for help, when we tell our stories.

Buying a Recovery House? Looking for Help

For the most part, I am not a practicing addict. My core addiction was "love" addiction, which I have been in recovery from for many years. I have also been caught up in fantasy and codependency addiction. I am not an alcoholic, a heroin addict or a sex addict and I am not sexually attracted to children. This gives me a strong base to work from to help some people in my community, if they are willing.

My uncle died last Spring and I inherited some money to live on for the next few years. I also have enough to buy an inexpensive house in one of the towns around here to be an addiction recovery house for people mostly in their twenties who have left cultic compounds around here five to seven years ago. I have contacted a realtor and picked out a house. I should find out by Monday if it is mostly a livable house. If it is I believe I will buy it, but I really need a couple of young people to step forward to help me set up the house and be my contact for the house and what will be going on in it.

I have been depressed for several days. I am very isolated, especially since Eddie and Jeremy have been removed from my telepathic consciousness. I relied on them for companionship. Many people have been connected to me telepathically this last month and a half, but the last couple of days have been quiet. I have to do a lot of house cleaning upstairs. I have gotten the go ahead from the Higher Power through the Yijing to adopt two kittens and two puppies once the upstairs is clean and ready for them. This will be a joy for me.
