The problem is me, and I know it. This is a huge reason why I drank. To escape reality, erase my self awareness of how far away I am from true happiness. I like to bury my problems to pretend that they donāt exist. All this really accomplishes is preventing me from truly moving forward and achieving some real growth.
You are already moving forward. What you say resonates in me. I, too, am waiting for happiness rather than making happiness happen. Continue the struggle, dear one.

Getting sober is easy bc at night when I close my eyes drinking is over its the staying sober thatās hard.
How true, not only do this with alcohol but also cigarettes and sugar and chocolate andā¦ staying clean from all addictive products is tough. Right now is all I have, and I need to stay now so I donāt lose my focus on sobriety. Keep reaching out.

Watched both recently, so out of the running for today! But a pair of 80s (and all-time) greats for sure. Timeless high school movies.
Fun fact that many donāt know - John Hughes shot both of those movies at the same time, in the same high school, to save money. I think the exterior shots of the schools are different places, but the inside shots were the same building just different wings.

Checking in. I have back pain again. Canāt move much. In the past I always drank more to deal with pain. But I am not doing that today. Alcohol is not medicine and self medicating is a bad idea. Itās taken me many years to acknowledge those things and I still need to work hard to hold onto that awareness.

**nevertheless I simply canāt get myself to pick up the phone **
when we are wanting to connect with other people It is called ābeing humanā. Love and compassion and caring for other people are human traits.
So this is when I have to get out of my head and NOT make a list a phone calls I HAVE TO MAKE but to use my heart and tap into the care, love, compassion and gratitude I feel for the other person on the other end of the phone. Compassion is reaching out to someone with love and care, and be willing to let them off the hook. No matter how they got there. Without expecting anything in return.

Wow. Thatās powerful stuff there! Thank you for sharing!!
and USA cough cough!
Although thatās becoming less and less the case.
I know what you mean though. Love when legendary players decide to go back to one of the smaller clubs in the home country to finish their career, especially if itās the one they started at.
In MLS there was a player called Clint Dempsey (you may know him as he got good enough to go play in England for a bit - a rarity for American players 15+ years ago - Fulham for a good stretch, and then a very short stint with Spurs).
He started at the club I support, I remember how special it was watching him. Incredible player. Then he went to England like I said, but eventually came back to MLSā¦not for us, though. The team in Seattle. He won some championships there and heās since cemented himself as an MLS legend, probably top-10 all time in the league.
But I always appreciate that he came back and was a huge part in driving the league towards where it is now.
