I have struggled with many obstacles through out my 58 years of life. When I was in grade school I had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. For a child around 10 years old, I didn’t know what to think and I didn’t understand why I was the way I was. I couldn’t even put into words what I was doing. Tell someone that I had to touch things four times in sets of four was a must. Wow, did I get in trouble in school when I should have been in my seat paying attention and not still at the pencil sharpener because I had to go back and make sure that I had my touching of four sets of four to do and if I actually touched something else accidently I had to touch that to four times in sets of four and some time in more sets. That’s when they had corpral punishment and I found my little bit out in the hall bending over for swats! I guess all the swats helped me to overcome that. This is my first time sharing this besides trying to explain to my best friend about my disorder and of course her mind was blown and had no advice for me. Long story short. I’ve also battled a drug addiction, and a eating disorder. I still struggle with both of those to this day but it’s under control now. I could go on and no but for starters I feel better to talk about this and get it off my shoulders. It part of recovery so thank you for listening. The worst of all was my gambling addiction, we all know how that is. I’m on the right path now. I just have to stay focused and love myself and to remember how precious life is and to keep the destroying demons out and to trust in my higher power. Thank you everybody. Much love for you. Love yourself and be good to yourself. We only have one shot at this. Be high on life and what we have and always remember to ask your high power to help you make it through. Bye for now. Hugs to all.
