Addicted to Dysfunction: Released to Live Life Out Loud

by Benita Anne Tyler

Who is this young girl? A “beloved” child of God left alone in the world, abandoned by the men who loved her most. Throughout the chapters of this young girl’s life, she faced her demons. Many of them plagued her both mentally and emotionally. This young girl was part of the walking wounded stuck in life, who found herself Addicted To Dysfunction. This young girl’s addiction nearly destroyed her. However, God never left her side. He sustained her throughout her life’s journey, re-birthed her back to the woman she was meant to be. This young girl was released: to live life out loud. That young girl is me! So what if I’m fifty years old? That just means I’m not ashamed to tell you the naked truth — self-loathing, depression, suicidal thoughts, murder, and anger were just the tip of the iceberg as I transitioned though life learning new lessons. Perhaps it was all a cry for help and no one listened. It is even more likely that I was simply Addicted To Dysfunction.
