Dear one,

 

   As I've moved through the three vital questions process, I became aware that I have been all three types of victims and, at times, I appeared to seek out victims.

​

   That's mostly due to the complicated relationship I had with my mother.  I spent a lot of time feeling like the helpless victim, desperately looking for someone to save me, while attempting to rescue the one who gave birth to me.  I never managed to actually rescue her, yet all this experience followed me for years to come. As facts kept on whispering into my ear, I realized I'm still trying to right that wrong. 

 

  Once I made the shift from feeling hopeless to empowered - becoming the decision-maker and the creator of my own existence - I broke the chains of what was holding me back.

​

   As a recovering alcoholic, I was acting like a victim (probably, if you had the boss I had, you would have drank too).   I'm still working on eliminating the rescuing victim within me, however I have successfully overcome the victim stage, as turning pain into power made sense to me.  

   That being said, as your personal sobriety coach I will guide you on the path of taking back your life and breaking the chains of addiction, once and for all.
