#timetakestime

I want what I want, when I want it! Back in the day, before my drinking was noticeably out of control, alcohol have me exactly what I thought I wanted… relief. I’ve always been a little impatient, very much an I want what I want when I want it kind of gal. Call it what you want, learned behavior from social constructs, a symptom of the disease of alcoholism or the inability to delay gratification… Whatever you want to call if, sobriety has helped me to tame this particular beast. When I first got sober I wanted all of the benefits sobriety had to offer, and I wanted them immediately. I wanted peace, serenity, discernment, patience, acceptance, etc. Those things didn’t just magically manifest the moment I put the bottle down. They took time, and practice. T.I.M.E. takes time.

One of the best decisions I ever made. Don’t get me wrong I’m still miserable, but I can’t imagine how much worse I’d be if I hadn’t gotten sober. Life is hard no matter what, but at least nowadays I’m exploring the darkest recesses of my psyche with a floodlight instead of a candle. If you’ve ever considered stopping drinking just try it out for a month then consider another month and then another. The bars and the parties and the booze aren’t going anywhere. If you quit for a year or 5 years all that shit will still be there and you will not have missed out on a single event. The one thing none of us will get back is time and that for me has always been a motivating factor for everything I do. I don’t miss the bars or the parties or the anonymous casual sex because after a while it became a broken record. The last 7 years have been filled with a lot of firsts and cool experiences that I had not realized were taking a backseat to bad habits, bad time management and zero self care. So if anything, just try something new for a year. Day one of anything is the hardest, but it gets easier and more manageable. I promise. ❤️ #dayone #sober #somethingnew #timetakestime https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvw-wY2Harz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18rtnp4cds0ex
