The cold shower….every bloody morning, and every bloody morning I want to bitch out of it.
We make time to drink, we make time to scroll aimlessly on socials but we don’t make time to put the work into ourselves.
Addiction is easy, it’s on constant repeat, it’s our comfort, our escape from reality.
Make no mistake about about it, doing the work, getting better, breaking addiction cycles is one of the hardest roads you’ll walk.
There’s the withdrawals, there’s the social banishing in our Alcohol fuelled culture, there’s the loss of “friends”, there’s the uneasiness of facing our demons and understanding why we turn to substance. Then there’s the unpacking of trauma and life events, grief perhaps.
However, when you’re relationship with your significant other improves, you’re more present for your family, you’re more present for your kids, your business or job improves and you get that opportunity or promotion you deserve, you’ll realise, like a massive slap in the face that….
This is the most masculine thing you’ll ever do! You’ll be that fu***ng alpha that you think you are, SOBER, without the ego of the substance talking.
Stop pi***ng in everyone’s pocket, including mine. If you want to make change, I’ll do the hard yards with you. For counselling/coaching that isn’t cookie cutter and all about rainbows and waterfalls, reach out for a chat.
Echoes, Silence, Patience, Grace
