I had an interesting experience today, there was a major screwup at work, not my fault, but it messed up what I have been doing all week.
There was a distinctive voice in my head, saying, you should go get drunk, blow off some steam.
It seemed SO FOREIGN to me, as though it really was another person in my head.
I guess that old reaction to stress is gonna be around for a while.
But hearing it as a separate voice, that really made it easy to laugh off.
In the past I really have listened to it like I had some great idea.
The other weird thing was, right after this happened, I was walking down the street, and I saw in a store window a banner with the serenity prayer on it.
I saw that, and thought, yep. Thats something I can't control.
I went and got a cup of coffee, and continued on with my day.
So there was a big screw up. Oh well. Not anything Im drinking over.
