As I sit here and think about what I’m grateful for, I think it’s the clarity that is returning that has allowed me to take an inventory of the things I left unmanaged. While it may be hard to process it all as I list it out, I know I’m being responsible and sitting with my defects. To get to a point of being loving with myself fully, I have to take responsibility for how I’ve treated myself, and I’m grateful that I’m still alive to do the work to get there again.
I worked new years and it was hard, as I work in an environment where people are intoxicated and I could smell alcohol on them. As much as I was able to cut back during my last stint, it was hard to smell it and not crave it.
But I managed and spent one of the first new years sober in awhile, because I decided to end and start the new year working.
