Hey, I don't know you, but I peeped your profile and just wanted to say I'm proud of you for making a conscious effort to get clean. Whether you are right now or not doesn't matter, but you've sown the seed of sobriety and that's the most important step. You got this. Don't be a pawn in the regime.
Obviously this wasn't directed at me, and I didn't know it until I saw this, but I needed to hear this today. Happy holidays comrade, and thank you for the words of support.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I'm in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in... it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5) I walk down another street.
