Sober Thoughts It’s hard when that part inside your head keeps whispering that ‘you weren’t that bad’ . When that voice comes calling add ‘yet’ to all the dark places it hasn’t taken you. I know from my own experience that I moved the goal posts many times regarding things I had never done and never would do.
We need to surrender completely.
I liken it to getting into a boxing ring with someone much bigger and more powerful than me…it will ALWAYS get the better of me. But when I ‘surrendered’ and threw in the towel and walked away saying fine, you’ve beaten me, you always will so I’m out and you can never hurt me again, as long as I stay out of the ring I’m going to be ok. If you haven’t done your list of ‘why’ then do one and keep it on hand and read it daily. You’re not alone in this thinking, and you are hugely brave to speak your truth so be proud of yourself. A lot of the ladies have done just that, when they got to 100 they committed to another hundred. Come to meetings and listen…that’s where I gained so much, and reach out anytime.
