"So, I tend to 'over-everything' and I just have to be careful what I apply myself to. It's great for work and working out."
With sobriety, part of what drives me is that "over-doing" aspect. It drives me. It is a compulsion...this desire to stay sober much as drinking, overeating, and spending were/are compulsive behaviors for me. Thanks for opening my eyes to this, Tommy K.
I will continue to try use my drive as a blessing not a curse.
I will not drink alcohol today. I will only eat when I am hungry. I will not spend to fill a void. I will turn to God to fill the emptiness in my life.
