Day Twenty Five - sliding down the rabbit hole

Far out.

This self-reflective compulsion is overwhelming.

I can't stop reading, reading, reading books and blogs, articles and guides. Not just about sobriety but about all kinds of ways that we fall into uncontrolled, destructive behaviour - food, drink, sloth, anger, over-work, misery.

I feel like I need to step away from it for a bit, because it's stopping me from my day to day work (and being self-employed, that is more than a little problematic) but at the same time I feel like I need answers and the opportunity to hunt Why is too good to miss.

I am so motivated to understand how I got to this place, where I could say 'Enough'.

So I don't think I will climb out of the rabbit hole just yet.

But I really have to do some work tomorrow!

  2. Both back in January and now I've been obsessed with reading about sobriety and there are some great books out there! I think if I didn't have my bedroom lights set up on a timer to force me to go to bed, I would stay up half the night reading.

    1. True! Curiosity is something I'd - not lost exactly, but grown tired of? It took too much mental effort.

      Hugs back at you Sam

  5. I can definitely relate to this post. This is the selfishness that I wrote about the other day. But it's a good selfish because it feeds your mind and soothes your soul (to learn these things). Best to you!

Day 49 - the art of keeping quiet plus TWO tests at free bars and my appy-appy-joy-joy

I have been busy-busy with work and family and tbh a few times I was wobbly about wine and deliberately didn't blog because I wanted to ...
