I don't know if I have anything directly to contribute to your post. It made me think and that was welcome this morning. More generally though it's exciting to me that we have our lives now to live on whatever terms we choose - rather than being caught in the brutal ugly cycle of drinking. I have my obstacles and patterns of thought that I finally can examine and deal with, or at least try. Thanks for the reminder to introspect a bit today. And thanks for being an example of what it means to overcome this nasty habit. Hope to see you here more often.
Hey man - always a pleasure! Reading your response and a thought struck me... sometimes when I look at certain obstacles and patterns of thought I'm carrying I decide to let go and accept that some of them aren't the best choices for me. Nothing major I think... but maybe just maybe I've grown at bit at not being too hard on myself too often and allowing myself to just accept who I am at times without beating the hell out of me. Interesting.
Hope you are well friend.
