Hide and seek is a game I played fairly well as a child. It would seem that with years of practice I became a champ. Most friends I've shared my revelation with had no idea the extent of my drinking problem. Only 3 people had full disclosure; my mother, my partner and my best friend. These are people that know me most fully. I won't claim they know all there is to know because I've hidden many aspects of me from myself. These aspects have been pushed and buried so far down in my psyche that I am now having to seek them out.
Now, I am playing the biggest game of hide and seek with myself. So many hidden parts and I have to find them all. I'd rather leave some of them to rot in their hiding places but that's not the way the game is played. They'll come out eventually whether I like it or not.
You are all things. Denying, rejecting, judging or hiding from any aspect of your total being creates pain and results in a lack of wholeness. -Joy Page
