a caged idea of itself for viewing!!! yes!!! this is why i don’t follow social media sobriety. when folks become obsessive about their not-using it’s a new addiction to some type of recovery holiness, another path that ends in a different type of cage. i think of u two often, of how this is impacting your psyche, your sense of purpose, your belonging to a certain flavor of “community” that may or may not even exist… it’s an honor to witness u unravel the ideology and weave your own new sense of self and purpose. i’m weaving right there next to u, we are makers circling on the astral. love love love.
yes yes yes! I call it "the performance of good sobriety" and it's just another box and another way we can be wrong or bad while stressing ourselves the heck out and defeating the whole purpose of getting sober, which for me was more freedom. Also ASTRAL MAKERS 😭. Honored to be doing this work with you, sweet friend.
Just love this Lisa. Have you read Beginning by David Whyte in Consolations? In our Wednesday morning group this week we talked about black and white thinking and perfectionism and beginnings and endings fit in there. Xxoo
