Stop Digging And Start Filling

  I always want to point out things I have said in the past or things that I hear all the time that make no sense at all but people say it anyway and other people agree. This is one of those things. "It'll be easier to change later."
​   
            Is it easier to climb out of a 1 foot hole or a 2 foot hole or a 15 foot hole. 1 foot simple enough. Is it easier to run 1 miles 2 miles or 15 miles? 1 mile simple enough. Is it easier to quit my addiction after 1 year 2 years or 15 years. 1 the answer is always less is easier. So get out of your addiction now and it will be easier. The longer you wait the harder it will be always. But some people just prefer to plan to change.

*I recently had a friend tell me he has been doing pills for the past year...sad for several reasons. This was his addictions when we met. It's what I think of as a foundation part of our relationship. When I have been tempted to drink I think of him and how I don't want to disappoint him. We have our own addictions. I've never had an issue with pills, I don't take any. He doesn't have a problem with drinking but our addictive minds are the same. He is married, he has a kid. But this paragraph above rings true. He is that much deeper in the addiction hole now. I am so glad I started ten years ago. Now I've practiced not drinking so long its easy. Start today. He hasn't been happy for a while and I wondered why. Its shame and hiding and addiction. Its the cycle of all that that makes you want to use and then using making all that.  I'm glad he told me but I hope this is a new start.
I'm reminded of how when you dig a hole all the dirt that comes out because its a mess doesn't fit back in the same hole. This is what addiction is like so stop digging and start filling.

    Note

    I was an Alcoholic
    This blog contains many of the ideas that helped me to get sober and stay sober. 

    ​Everything in Italics is me now, commenting on the writing from 10 years ago. Everything not in Italics is the 8 year old writing. In some ways I am the same but in others very different that is what make it interesting.
