Awakening

Awakening-

What is an awakening?

It is a breakthrough from the inside out. It is a breakthrough of walls and barriers that we create internally.

What causes these walls and barriers?

Fear.

What causes the fear?

In my case, it is acceptance.

Why acceptance?

Because living with my dual diagnosis of bipolar disorder and addiction to alcohol/drugs there is a stigma.

Is there a stigma?

I’ll have to say, in my own mind.

In my case I put the fear of the unknown in front of me which builds the walls and barriers. The reason is, I don’t want anyone to judge me, but at the same time aren’t I prejudging?

That’s where the acceptance comes in. I have had an awakening in seeing my own stigma that I have put on myself. In seeing this awakening I have broke barriers and walls that I have internally.

In this awakening I have found, Freedom.

No fear.

No judgment.

How do you get to freedom?

In my opinion, Acceptance.

I feel once you accept yourself for who you are, so will the rest of the world.

Awakening.
