Living life on life's terms is a tough one.
No matter whether we drink or not we are still living life on life's terms. We have no actual control over most things.
Difference when we drink is we suppress the feelings.
The less we feel the harder it is for us when feelings come.
When sober we feel it All. Just like training for a bout you build muscles the more you repeat an action. You build defensive moves and offensive moves and endurance.
Those things were not second nature the first time you put on gloves. They became so after putting in lots of Work.
So will dealing with life. It will become easier. You will find new ways of dealing with it.
It is a scary leap though I will not lie.
That fear kept me in a bad place for too long. Addiction is fierce. I'm in a crappy place but scared to leave it.
Just Don't Drink Today.
That's all you gotta do right now
