I’m doing the best I can in my recovery but sometimes what I want now doesn’t come fast enough and the overthinking spiral starts to consume me. Being patient for the fruits of my labor is a big issue I am having.
Breath… instant gratification and selfishness are both alcoholic qualities we all excelled at. It’s going to take time to change the thought processes we are used to. It took me about 6 months to really understand what my sponsor was talking about with patience. Life on life’s terms.. just like it will happen when it happens. I wrote it in an earlier post as well - “fireman don’t run into a burning building, they walk. If they rush they could be running into something they are unprepared for, and make a fatal mistake” hope that helps a bit.
