Bamboozle

I have a lot on my mind...

I realized how apathetic I was while I was drinking and how that apathy held me back.



I recently accepted a job promotion. I know I never would have been able to get it if I was still using.

My attitude changes when I'm sober. I care more...even though what I do for a living is not to my tastes my job doesn't bother me nearly as much as it did before.

It helps having a focus elsewhere. I love doing photography...it's related to the degree I have. I put my energy into that because I care a lot about it...and there is enough positive drive left over for me to work well at my bill-paying job.

I know the moment I start drinking photography will go out the window. I can't let that happen. Being drunk means I’m being lazy. It was too easy to sit around the house blitzed…and not care about anything else. All I did was sit and dream.

Now I’m working towards actualizing my dreams. I have a long way to go, but what a difference already.

Hope builds by the day.

My mind is clearing and I expect it to continue to heal. I’m looking forward to seeing what it is I can accomplish with a sober brain.
