I enjoyed this read, thank you. I’ve writing about my own journey with consumption/addiction from the perspective of someone who hasn’t been able to find the amount of self love needed to beat what amounts to a death wish. Even though I can’t necessarily feel self love consistently yet, writing about seeking it is somehow becoming that very thing.

I think loving yourself and others non-transactionally while in Recovery is a huge step forward in one's healing and yet the hardest.

Love this idea of “non-transactionally.” Give to be spent. Then, in our Emptiness, find life?
