I have found for the most part, most people don't want to hear.
My evening meditation cards:
"Enlightenment is seeing the unseen itself, and in this there is no seeing and no seer - only beginningness, endless calm."
ATISA DIPANKARA SHRIJNANA (980-1054)
"HE WHO DOES HIS DUTY IS TOLERANT LIKE THE EARTH, FIRM AS A PILLAR AND CLEAR AS A LAKE: NO FURTHER BIRTHS WILL BE IN STORE FOR SUCH A ONE.
DHAMMAPADA (1ST CENTURY BC)
"THERE IS ONLY ONE MOMENT IN TIME WHEN IT IS ESSENTIAL TO AWAKEN. THAT MOMENT IS NOW."
ATTRIBUTED TO THE BUDDHA (C.563BC-C.483BC)
"IF WE CAN BE WISE, AFTER LISTENING TO THE LAWS WE BECOME SERENE, LIKE A DEEP, SMOOTH, STILL LAKE."
DHAMMAPADFA (1ST CENTURY BC)

Don't like talking about my pain, it is part of my life and the reason I used for so many years. I mention it because it is always there and I want to share, that just because you are hurting, doesn't mean you have to go to a drug.
We can do what I can't do alone.
