'The Mountain'

My problems were as big as a mountain range & something happened one day

I mentally blew up the mountain and walked through there was rocks and boulders I had move each day to pass through (It was a massive moutain range) but as i proceeded through that mountain range I picked up some tools to help and it made the job of moving the rocks & boulders a lot less dificult there were some rocks that were heavier and required a big effort on my part but on the whole I kept moving at a steady pace and one day I came across another person who was struggling with the same rocks & boulders so I gave him the tool I was using as I had picked up a few more tools on the way from other experienced rock climbers

I've literally just noticed that I'm reposting this 2 years to the day I wrote it - mad as I've been searching for this post for ages thought I had lost it - Crazy

I was just under 2 years sober

Thank you for bumping this.

I think I just blew up my own mountain range. I've had some time off over Christmas and I realised, when I looked out, the mountains have been rubble and boulders for a while, I just couldn't see it. I couldn't let myself let go of seeing the mountains. I was too scared.

I feel like I am mentally packing a rucksack, making some lunch and getting my boots on. It's time to go walking.

I love this analogy so much I think I am going to paint it.

Thank you SW 💖💖
