A Need to Purge

Dear heart, I pray you will never be hard on yourself. The whole reason people succumb to addiction in the first place, is because they're in such devastating
pain, they just want to find a way to cope and stop it. They want, and need a quick fix - a soft place to fall --- anything to stop the pain.

They become desperate, and know of no other place to find quick comfort, than in some-thing or some one.

I know of only one true help, in times like this. He literally saved my life, after such devastating losses. His name is Jesus. I found He is the answer, when life hits hard and steals our joy. He gives a peace that surpasses all understanding. Nothing can substitute for him in this life.

I have followed him for 52 years. I can truthfully say he's the best friend I've ever had, and the best decision I ever made in my life, was to follow him. I've never been sorry.

You have my deepest and sincerest condolences. 🫂😭❤ I'm here if you ever need to talk. 🌹 You will need to be gentle with yourself at this time and not rush things. There's no right way or wrong way to grieve. It's something we have to process in our own way, and not all will experience it quite the same way. That's okay.

That sounds exciting, if you can manage it. Maybe look at bloggers that travel the world on sailboats. They keep a rolling documentary going and make enough money so they never need to leave the water except for groceries and boat fixing.

Lots of free sailboats around. Abandoned, or they age out of them. Some just want a new owner to keep them floating.

Youtube has a ton of videos on how to live on a boat for free. Find a nice cove and drop anchor, then work on your writing.. Take a dip in the water every day. Eat tropical fruits.

I don't know what sort of books that you're reading but that's wrong. Let me try define what I mean. What is a correct 'purge'?

An Augustine purge refers to a concept, derived from St. Augustine's writings, of an internal cleansing or spiritual purification of the mind, heart, or soul from sin, doubt, and self-love to orient it towards God and spiritual truth. This process of inner purification is often described using metaphors of light dispelling darkness and cleansing the soul, as seen in his Confessions, and aligns with the scriptural idea of being made clean by God's word and grace.

The key words in there are: to go off the self-love. Too many of so-called Christians even on here still have that. Full of themselves. Can't accept the human format and talk out of their arse whenever mentioning what Christ told us to do. If you're not feeling any anger about the mis-teachings of Christ's message, well, you're not human any more
