Has anyone else had a rough day? When other peoples actions bring you into a situation you have no desire to be around.
When there need for meaningless gossip reminds you of one of the reasons why numbing ourselves is an amazing solution that is proven to work well.
At least until it doesnt. Until the pain can not be numbed. Until the pain caused by others and to others is recognized.
Being in some environments suck some days.
Escaping is easy. So simple.
So insane.
I can always go back to that old version of me.
But instead today, I choose to do less. To take care of myself. Even if it means an hour at a time.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice. You chose yourself and your sobriety versus the alternative, that is showing up for yourself. You should be proud of yourself, I am. Keep up the hustle

Thank you. Everything comes easier with practice. The more issues we get through, the more issues we can get through. I appreciate your way of thinking.
Thank you and that is so true. This was for multiple reasons lighter than previous times I got through. Memories of bad events being regurgitated by the present rather than actual curve ba1ls being thrown at my life. One day at a time eh?
Thank you. Well said. I am grateful I had the clarity of mind to get through another day.
