Happy weekend, all.
Really interesting OP, MB. I'm not sure where I stand on it just yet. My initial feeling is that I'm not really too concerned whether I am stuck or not at the moment - I am just enjoying being. Time has slowed right down since I have been sober and I am just loving it. I spent years feeling that I wanted to be more mindful and more present and I was trying hard to make it happen without it ever really falling into place. A couple of months of sobriety and I am just noticing it happening all the time - without me trying to force it. I feel present in everything I do and I absolutely love it.
It is making me less concerned about the past and less worried about the future.
I'm very happy to be stuck here.
