The good place
Just a bit of a random one but got me thinking.
I am re watching the good place on Netflix(spoiler alert for those who havnt watched it yet)
the characters are rebooted over and over and go through all different scenarios throughout the seasons. Even though they loose their memories and re start over and over their goal remains the same to become better people until they succeed and get to finish their existence in peace throughout eternity.
I was just thinking that this is how I feel my recovery has been. There were so many failed attempts and things for me to overcome throughout the years. Each time I decided to pick up a drink it was like my memory had been erased and I had to start again and take a good look at my life and what I had done. I finally feel at peace with my old habits and have moved to a better place in my life and am loving it! There are good days and there are bad days but the main thing is, is the fact that there are actually days and not just me being so out of it that I have no idea what is going on.
Sorry if it is a bit of a rubbish comparison but just wanted to share my own message of hope for others on here. I read this page almost daily but don’t always comment.
it does get better if you give it a chance. Just sometimes we need to be rebooted a few times before we get there
