“ if you don’t take a Risk you cannot grow If you Cannot grow , You cannot become your best And if you cannot be your best
You cannot be happy and if you cannot be happy what else is there? “
I’d taken the risk, move somewhere new and started a new career…except I had no guidance to grow, I thought I could be the 20 year old weekender and lead people in fitness and mental health…
3 years ago my life changed and if I didn’t “ grow” then things would never get better, it’d be the same old cycle and I could keep blaming things…At the time we’d all survived Covid, I had survived another career threatening knee injury, I was angry and frustrated at the world and circumstances…with no way of talking about it, I couldn’t find my voice!
Caught in a loop of drinking and blaming the world, not wanting to face things , not understanding things…
Sitting reflecting all those days, after 2 years of no alcohol and reading into my own traits, having to face those things I ran to alcohol from and probably in my happiest place I’ve been in a very long time and not in a survival mode with life…
Because I had to grow, talk and face the uncomfortable instead of staying in the same old loop…
Call ADHD…it’s mental health at the end of the day and I’d say the a higher percentage of us turn to alcohol to get away from things rather than enjoy the moment with alcohol…
