Yeah no I get it. Sharing here totally sets myself up for judgement from the "Dont Judge !!" police.
Its not like the rooms where cross talk isnt permitted.
I did say that I was judging myself right ? My words these days dont lean towards selfdeprication anymore. Not sorry.
I have hated myself and my choices for farrrr too long.
Interestingly enough, for me, the biggest motivator for my sobriety was a therapist who tough loved the hell out of me when I was in a death spiral.
She basically told me, get sober or we are done. That stung like the pricks from a thousand bees, because I had mad respect for her and her hard won sobriety, but no one to this day, but no one ever made me rethink all of this like she did. I didnt get sober from that, but I never forgot it.
Gosh isnt it ever a magnificent day today ?!?!?
Blessings all...
