Indeed.
Yep. This has so been my experience, starting with myself. Only I can walk the path of sobriety.
Thankfully, the cravings of the past fortnight have moved on. Based on my experience, one day, they are likely to return. It's been a good three years since they last visited. Hopefully I'll be better prepared next time.
What an unsettling and just plain weird time it was. As always, lessons to be learned, digested, contemplated and stored for future reference.
As of this moment, I'm focused, clear and doing the work that needs to be done.
I don't know what it's truly like for other drinkers or addicts, but for me, this path always requires tending. Awareness. Making conscious decisions that enable me to stay sober.
Okay, back to it.
Be kind to yourself people. That's been another lesson. Take time for yourself. Don't beat yourself up. The critical, 'stinking thinking' mind gives you nothing positive to work with.
