Turn Mental Chaos Into Clear, Focused Thoughts

My purpose here is to stay sober. Crazy thoughts in my crazy head zing around in this pressure cooker, and writing as a practice works to keep the mental monsters orderly, deflated, and negotiable. And, unlike meetings or phone therapy, I can always go back and check my perception. I am undisciplined and grandiose, with elusive self-esteem. Hence—a goal: to tease out what could be termed, loosely, reality. My thoughts go down here to chronicle my journey. It's been pretty incredible thus far, and the next indicated step for me is to write. What I do to heal, to understand, and to help must happen every single day. Whether I walk the desert, create art in a studio, work with others, or just sit in amazement at the gift that is my life, I will forget unless I make it a habit to punctuate the purpose of my new awareness. After years of insanity, I got another chance; I’m writing this one down. I make no claim to truth, and I do not care too much if I read less than brilliantly. I need to do this for me. If anything here helps you, it’s above what I imagined.
