I relate to your forgetfulness. I not only have limited recollection of my upbringing but also the memory of a fly in my day to day... nothing sticks. I've come to understand that as a product of my story, and medicines have fairly recently shown me that it could be something to work by teaching the parts of me that forget that it is now safe to remember.
This "my recovery is a bright and golden thing that can be pointed at but not truly known by anyone but me." is profound and wonderful. Fully appreciating our experience is ours alone and can only be that way. Thank you!
Nice... I too live Just For Today. I read something from Brianna Wiest that is fitting for the moment, " accomplishing goals is not success, how much you expand in the process is... "
God I love tres leches! Grace sounds like a wonderful human. Congratulations on making 8 years, you are an inspiration to me in my recent journey towards a sober life.
I also used to view myself as one of the “live-fast-die-young” crowd, but have a newfound appreciation for longevity and a slow cultivation of a meaningful experience of life.
I think this is partially due to patience gained by the wisdom that comes with age. And perhaps also by the stillness found in sobriety that provides clarity on personal values and the fleeting nature of life itself.
We truly only have the present moment. I think you’re right, maybe my own half-baked-amnesia is the reason why I can resist rumination so much easier than my significant other 😅
Amazing and well done Alex. My two year quietly passed just a couple of weeks after yours. DeepFix was especially helpful in the early days. Thank you for every word you’ve ever written on this topic. ❤️
I look forward to seeing my great grandchildren when you are a grandfather. Love Pop.
Congrats, Alex! Will there still be a memoir? 😇
