If I can’t commit to myself I’ll never be able to commit to anyone else.
I’m 32 at what point will I get tired of being this version of myself.

A statement so few understand. There’s a reason flight attendants tell you to put on your own oxygen mask first if it deploys. You’re no good to anyone else if you’re no good yourself.

How bad do you want it to get? When I was 32 I was getting right into the thick of my drinking problem. It took me 7 more years.
I can't tell you how many times I said, that's not me, I'm not that bad.

You decide. The longer you wait the bigger and darker the hole.

We all have choices what’s yours??

You will; Trust me. Do you want to live or do you want to die? If you knowingly have a problem with drugs or alcohol, it will only get worse. There’s no good that comes out of it. Dig deep. Find your roots. Get connected. Or don’t. But in the end, if you’re not happy, don’t complain about it if you don’t want to put the work in.

It's not even a matter of do you want to live or do you want to die. I welcome death everyday, I've been in pain for 20 years straight. And I've been sober for 18 plus of them far more days than not. I've got kids so I push on. Other people have it worse than me so I push on. Every time I've said things could not get any worse they get worse, far worse. Unfortunately Vanessa, things for you will get worse, that's a promise. One day the drugs or alcohol will see to it they get far worse. So keep it up. Everyone thinks that will never be me until it is.

How tired are you tired of being sick and tired? Only you know the answer to that question. We all have choices it’s what we choose to do with those choices. Good luck :+1:

I think if you are questioning it you are well on your way. Change doesn't happen without action though. Now that you feel like this what can you do to enact some kind of change?
