Good post, Sassy.
I know sometimes I "expect the world" of myself because I have been able to do some pretty awesome things in sobriety. Then again, some days - I just gotta say, "it's ok not to go for another mountain top today!"
Learning to be gentle with myself and also appreciate the basic fact that I am SOBER almost 23 months... Or other big things that I can sometimes gloss over their importance....can be more than enough accomplishment for that day.
