I think what i generaly do is do those things i can do, focus on the moment, get through the daily struggle .
Deal with what i can deal with and hand the rest over to god or a higher power, fate, those things in life greater than myself to deal with the other stuff. This dosn't mean i'm passive infact i'm quite tenacious .
I can sit here and give you 100's of reasons why i deserve a drink, drugs, how life is painfull and how hard it all is for me .
I suck it all up , I deal with it or I offer it up and then I move on.
One of the things i really don't like about my experience with drink and drugs is how when i abused them my whole life got constipated , in a hole digging it deeper .
Just got to keep doing the next right thing , make the decision and move on . Feeling emotionaly out of sorts is perfectly acceptable, it won't be forever, all things will pass .
Bestwishes, M
