Well done Lance, good job!!
I will say that for me playing the tape isn't always the best thing at times. I find as I gain time my brain lies and erases portions of the tape...... that incidence never happened, or that event really wasn't so bad.......I have to be careful of my brain editing the "tape" and remembering the romantic dance with alcohol....the big lie so to speak. That is where the danger is for me.
My simple reminder is I was willing to just not be anymore - willing to slip away and be gone for good. That is the one thought my stubborn brain will never erase, I hope. I carry a 24hr chip I picked up the day after I was willing to let it all slip into oblivion but somehow held on through the night till the sun came up.
Glad you're here with us, thanks for the post!
