๐Ÿ‘‹ justifying my path ๐Ÿ‘‹

Posted: Thu, Dec 2, 2021 06:27:31 AM

out of recovery seems like a terrible thing to do, and yet, i see myself creeping down that path, day by day. sure things are far from idyllic in my life today and i have real concerns. as i can quite easily continue down that road, i need to stop myself right there and fins a better life recovery balance. i have my work life, i have my fitness life, hell i even have figured out the means to get the dawg out and about on a nearly daily basis and yet, recovery falls by the wayside because of TV, or hiking , or trying to boost my skill-set. i was the one who decided not to follow up with my sponse, because i could pound in a few more hours of boot camp. i knew that unless i made the effort, the meeting a week ago Wednesday was probably not going to happen. a perfect storm to play the victim when i am volunteered for that outcome.
today, just for today as that is the extent of my commitment on any given day, i will do my best to find the ways and means to go beyond what i do on a daily basis and nurture my recovery. on that note, i do believe i will post this little ditty and get a walk under my belt, as i am quite certain i will lack the time later in the day to accomplish much of anything else, as i have work to do and a self-imposed deadline to meet.
