Lol Amp. Thanks for the chuckle.
Makes me wonder. What other transferable skills I have gained.
Of course I can be really good at lying. But I'm trying not to lie any more. I like being me. Take me as I am or move on.
Pretending that everything's ok when in my mind I'm freaking out. Faking it till I make it.
Hiding things. Useful for Christmas gifts.
Finding prescription meds at any house. Very useful later for the apocalypse.
That's about all I can come up with in short order. There's gotta be more. Maybe not. Maybe it's supposed to be that way. There's not supposed to be skills we learned or gained from addiction.
There are definitely some important skills learned during recovery. Like just how important a good diet can be in our overall mood. How dark chocolate cures just about all mental ailments. I learned how effective meditation can be. Oh and how powerful good ol water can be.
