Everyone of us knows that when you truly WANT
something (career,goal,target,etc)...NOTHING can
stand in your way.
But that's the kicker,is'nt it?
YOU have to want it.More than anything.The worst
thing these damn opiates (my codie situation) do is give you
the payoff (dopamine in your brains reward center)..that
you didn't earn with your own blood/sweat/tears.
I think what some of our longer term members see is
that the 'outside' is not the special olympics---it is the
"I'll tear your guts out because I WANT that gold medal MORE
than you do....and I'm not here to play 'nice' ".
But with that being said,a rehab seems to be a place
where a good faith effort to provide the tools required.
It doesn't build the house for us---but all the desire
in the world (without proper tools/skills) is'nt going
anywhere.
CNM,I hope that you and your husband come out of this with
Craftsman tools,freshly sharpened....and tear the crap out of
that lumber pile over yonder!!!
(life can sometimes kick your a**---but life has an a**,too...
one that CAN be kicked!)
