No matter what we call it I'm going to get back to my life now
nono, i realize. i mentioned it because of the so-frequent discussions here on SR about words used to describe returns to drinking. sorry, Obladi, it just muddled things up.
the concept that whatever i had chosen to do to quit drinking for good hadn't worked and that i needed to do something different...that notion took a long time to make sense. and after it made sense, it took a long time for me to implement.
i wasted a lot of time doing the same things over and over while trying harder. except that every time i was trying as hard as i could.
getting back to your life...well, yes. but what you call it, how you see it, IS part of your life. and how you see it will likely influence what you'll do which will hugely influence your life.
what can we do to help?
