the road to contentement
Posted On 07/10/2008 11:34:09 by sallysjourney

I am finaly owning up to my own problems, over years now I have used spending, just buying myself another little treat to fill in the gaps in my life. They never lastand the financial problems which I create are becoming more and more severe.

I do not want to live like this anymore, I want to find contentement and fulfilment in God, I want to become the person He has created me to be and not simply one who is always draining away her potential through worry. I want to drop my competent masks, and to life a life that is open, vulnerable and transformed. More than anything I want to stop hurting my family. I want to learn to be without stuff to prop me up, and to open the post without fears of yet another demand for money that I have already spent!

I think you have come to the right place, I am fairly sure all of us here can relate to that be it by using alcohol, food, drugs, etc, we all here have tried to fill voids in our lives with something.

I am quite like you too, I have a great tendancy to overspend to fill a gap, I love the buzz for a while but then when I look at all the stuff in the back of the wardrobe months later untouched I feel dreadful, yet I still do it!

Welcome to a good place.

Thanks Isiah, it was a relief to write that stuff down at last, and then to read it back to myself, shocking but good.

I spent a life time trying to fill the void within myself with things that never satisfied my hunger. I know now that the space within is reserved for my Higher Power. Only this will satisfy my hunger.
Glad that you're here
