Time Heals

The old saying "time heals all wounds", is hard to swallow when you have been through what we go through on a day to day basis.
I know that time heals but, certain things stay within you forever. However, what you do with those things is what makes you a person.
I have been through over 20 yrs. of suffering and pain that was not understood by even myself. I have slowly learned about myself over the last few yrs. and have changed slowly into who I am today.
I am praying to God and seeking his guidance as I try to help others reach for recovery. The idea of watching people go through what I did and not help them is just not me. I have to reach out and be there for them. I think that is why I have made it through the seriously tough battles I have faced in my life.
I, cannot do it myself, I am a center point used by God to help others see. I don't want others to suffer for as long as I did. I want them to seek help now. This is my goal as a Peer Support Specialist. I pray that I can do what I am supposed to and say the things I am supposed to say to help others.
