Did you know that the word 'share' derives from the Old English word for 'shear' which means to cut or divide? To share with others means to divide your burden. Each time you share, you leave another little piece of the weight of your burden with them. By sharing, I divide; by dividing, I lighten my load. Have always loved this concept. It doesn't matter what substance you use, be it people, places, and things, we all have needs, emotions, and feelings that we need to share. My sponsor use to say, if you take it to a meeting and there are 10 people there, you only have to take a 1/10 of it home. It is not only healing for me to share. I have had people come and after a meeting and thanked me for what I said because it helped them. I share because I care. Hopefully, if anyone out there is going through what I have been going through, we can share the journey together, knowing we are not alone.
