This was a hard pill to swallow. And I’ve never had problems taking pills 🤪 My mind was blown when I actually started to believe this – feelings AREN’T facts. They sure did seem to be, though .Then I remember. How many times did I FEEL like I needed a drink or eleven to handle a certain situation? How many times did I FEEL I was in love with an asshole? How many days did I FEEL hungover? One thing I know to be true. Nothing is permanent. It’s best for me to remain in the present. If I dwell on the past I can FEEL shame, guilt, and humiliation. If I focus on the future I can get anxious. I am where I am, roght this second, for this one moment in time. I think I’ll appreciate that gift. Three years ago today I celebrated my 45th birthday in rehab. As a kid I thought 45 was mere inches away from dying of old age. 45 to me was standing with one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel. I loved my birthday in rehab because finally, for ONCE, I was actually going to give this sober thing a real chance. I haven’t looked back…and there’s no waaaay I’ll celebrate another spin around the sun in a treatment facility…unless I’m sharing my story. Happy FRIDAAAAAAY, sober family. Keep it simple today.
