“When you can stop you don’t want to. And when you want to stop, you can’t.”Life is on the upswing now. I did manage to learn a lot, got my degree and became a licensed Health Practitioner. I conducted phone consultations with clients from home so I was free to continue drinking all day long. What a perfect job for me! I really knew my stuff and was good at it, too. How ironic that I was helping others get healthy. If I only could have followed my own advice! To me, I was doing fine now (delusional thinking at its height). I was no longer feeling the painful emotions from the losses in my life. The pills and even the vodka were all for legitimate medical purposes… I really needed help to cope and it’s not like I was buying drugs on the street corner. The chronic pain from my back injury was real so my doctor gave me what I needed.- Luke Davies
It all made perfect sense to me. I felt better now.
That is the way addiction always goes. It is progressive by nature.Eventually, there was an end to this madness and I was lucky enough to live through it. When I finally hit my rock bottom, I walked into my first AA meeting for help. The more rooted I became in sobriety, the more confident and free I became. When I consult with a client now I really enjoy getting to know them and being of real service to them. What a shift that is from where I used to be.
The good news for me is that emotional sobriety is progressive too. The more you get, the more you want.I was isolated for so long that I could barely remember how to speak with others socially. But with more time in sobriety I became comfortable with friendships again. I’m more grateful for the people in my life than ever before. When I learned to accept myself, I came to see others in a non-judgmental way. I now see more of the whole person without the flaws. I even learned how I am a co-creator with a higher power and no longer cling to my victim status. But that’s another story.
