Ah, selective memory. In fact, that's what we all have 24/7, 365. I can choose what to think about. Imagine that.
When I was drinking, and for a few months after that I was a big ruminator, self-beater-upper, just a negative Nancy in my own head. Crippled by loss, grief, fear, trauma, lack of confidence. Even though I already knew about Positive Psychology and had a good basis for mental health the alcohol itself does cause obsessions and they are not usually about good and happy things...they are usually about resentments, fears, anger.
I'm so glad to be out of that spiral/loop. Horrible, horrible drug. The world looks like a much better, happier place to me now.
Wow. That's bim's understatement for the day. ^^
