Why Write?

I haven't written in awhile. Well on here, anyways. I've wondered if I should continue writing here. Questioned if it's necessary for me to put it here for people to read. I still write in my daily journal. Not daily, but often. 

What does this public writing give me? What is it that I want from writing here?  I think, for me, it is a way to share my story. To share with everyone what I went through at the beginning, and what I go through day to day. I stopped sharing because I questioned if anyone out there really cares to know my story. 

I'm realizing that maybe it doesn't matter, as long as I get it out, I don't need to care if it's read. You see, putting my thoughts and feelings in writing is just as important to me as going to counseling and recovery meetings. Don't get me wrong, I do hope people read, would love to receive feedback, but I don't need that to survive. So feel free to say hello, send words of encouragement or just like my blog. I have nothing to be ashamed of because this is my story.
