POST AUGUST 2, AM
Why changing your lifeĀ is like choosing sobriety; have to work @ it every day; get over this idea that change is or should be easy, its very hard, you have to be obsessed, you have to believe in it, desperately want it, because we live in a society which encourages you to give up and tune out, to ignore the signs, to shirk the hard work, ppl who say well i think i’ll hang out and see what happens…nothing. time passes and you’re still doing a job/relationship/life which you dislike; sobirety is a progress, so the next time a friend or acquaintence mentiosn its been x years since they had a drink, praise them since that was x years of choosing to change their life, didn’t just happen. and then think, “could I do the same?” can you?
mention ex. relapsed, no matter how angry/heartbroken I was, I was far more upset over him drinking again, since that was far more important, he chose sobriety again
