Enough!

I am so damn tired of considering what the hell is wrong all the time.

F all that crap.

What's right? What's good? What going to make me smile? How can I make you smile?

I am not talking about being grateful. That's just an inventory of reminders to look up.

I am talking about putting my energies into finding the best parts of me.

If i trip over something I don't like along the way, so what! I don't have to stop and sniff it.

I am bound to find sh!t in a garden!

What was the last thing I did good?

What was the last good thing I did?

I will start there.

Hi weas!
I'm sorry you are having a craptastic day.
Nothing is really wrong? You just are mixing it up. What are the most awesome parts of your life?

I have the bad habit of focusing on negativity too, Weasel. I'm trying to work on it. It gets very old.

Yep...and if you think about it, sh*t grows beautiful flowers.

It's all about perception.

I can really relate to your post. This sobriety stuff is uncharted territory for me and relearning how to live is soooooo tiring sometimes. Sobriety is wonderful but it is a lot of work. Just when you get one thing figured out something else pops up.

All I have is today so I just try to do the next right thing and try not to get over whelmed.

Actually this post comes from a happy place.

Just looking forward to a warm sober holiday. The last 10 or so have been marred. Crack on Xmas morning. A cold turkey in the oven cuz I never got around to cooking it. Was drunk already.

Like I said. A happy place. Lol

My sobriety is only the first small gift I can give myself this year. The big gift is liking myself.

Your post reminded me of a quote I found months ago:
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.* ~William Saroyan
Life is hard and it's messy (as you said!), but once you accept that and learn how to be your own best friend, it's a lot easier.

Have a good day!
