I used to live in a constant state of anxiety. I was always bracing for something to go wrong. Everything was already wrong. I was dying a slow alcoholic death, and I didn’t know how to make it stop. I no longer carry shame about that part of my journey. It wasn’t a graceful decision to change. It felt more like being dropped into the deep end. But I had to hit the bottom of hopelessness to start listening without judgement.
I didn’t know how to live in the moment I was in; I was always in the past or the future. I had to learn to slow my mind down. Practicing meditation helped me learn how to sit still so that my mind could learn how to still. Everything inside me wants to move, but with each experience I’m getting better at patience. My faith and trust are becoming something I’m living inside instead of something I’m blindly falling back into. Consistent action and patience have shaped my recovery path.
