Thanks for sharing that Brit. I always love your insights. I have that book and feel like W and I were caught in the addict/avoider dance too. I love that quote about tolerating fear and discomfort. It is huge for me too.
I am working now on finding the balance between allowing myself to feel those feelings without getting stuck in them. I'm not sure how to know?
I feel like I have opened myself up so much to the beauty in life right now (I can't believe i am admitting this but i just about cried today just petting one of my dogs at how wonderful she is...is that just crazy?? ) that l feel like i need some sort of balance to all this feeling, i probably need to get out, laugh and have some fun. (i've been staying home with houdini this weekend after he got snipped and read an emotional emily giffin novel.)
i could use some jerk chicken and daiquiris!
