Couldn't stop reading, glad you won the ego fight, and stepped through the portal...

I am in a portal shift now and have been for a year. The ego death is hard and for me requires a bit of tuning out the world. The race goes on without me.

Amen. Yes, it's hard and painful at times. Trust that you know what you need right now. In the early days of sobriety, my world shank so I could focus on my sobriety and health.

Thank you for sharing. I don't know why, but I started crying when you went to your first AA meeting. I have had my own portal experience. It has taken me a few to wake up. I am also in tech, an executive working 7/24 for some purpose I could never really explain. My portal was not addiction to drugs but to work, money and image. They of course are hollow once you dive deep into yourself to try and discover what life is really about. I am now learning about spiritually and consciousness. I am starting over in many ways, but discovering that the truth has always been there if you look. Thank you.

This is really well written, and the story really resonates. Sometimes we have to let the old ways go.
