Absolutely love the pond metaphor!
Instant gratification has always been something that has limited me. I've tried so many new things but haven't stuck with them. I would LOVE to learn how to play the guitar, and I've tried many times, but it is SO HARD, so I give up. It's been a struggle for me since gaining my sobriety, I'm bored all the time. I have nothing to turn to, and I can't seem to find anything that quenches that thirst.
Wonderful post, thank you for your insight Gilmer! I'm in for a sober weekend and Sunday marks 90 days for me, so it'll be a happy weekend for me.
