I have began writing something close to a life story as I can remember the only thing that fears me in doing so is my alter will possibly fill the blanks thatI as MAnon cannnot remember so far it is going well the truth as "Manon" knows it if the alters take charge and start writing the pieces to the puzzle that I cannot remember as myself I may learn more than I really wanna remember but I do this for me so there are no more secrets "you are only as sick as your secrets" so I don't think I will be sharing it here at mip I am still considering sharing it till the 5th step with my sponser but I am trying to be honest with myself which I have hidden and pieces to the puzzle are missing but at least Iam activly doin something for my recovery thanx for listening

Manon: I kept the writing light when I was in therapy. Writing is a wonderful tool and it will free us. To thine own self be true is excellent advise I think. If I felt discomfort I'd stop that writing project and discuss it with my therapist.
I had some similar experiences earlier in recovery for me now but I also had many years off the dope when I began to let stuff come up. My Therapist helped me let things settle at a more managable pace.
I used to switch writing projects and found it more comfortable. Poetry, the artistic side of our mind, is a fine solution so that we can say what we mean in the abstract.
Joe hits the nail on the head for me...I found that with literally everything I did in early recovery...and still today, every day...I had/have to be attentive to staying in balance. With heavy-duty issues, timely communication with a trusted therapist became a necessary part of maintaining that "managable pace".
