Today, I faltered. Today I allowed my emotions to overtake common sense. I took the bait someone cast and I got hooked emotionally into a mental relapse of sorts. I know where I went wrong and I understand why I felt provoked. I need to forgive myself for speaking and entering a useless argument. A more skilled action would have been to ignore the provoker and just carry on. Now my body is physically still getting back to normal and it’s been hours since the incident. The further along I go in sobriety, the more important it becomes that I maintain emotional peace of mind. I don’t enjoy feeling revved up (that is, if I ever did). Thanks. I just had to get that off my chest!
