September 19

Some days won’t be all that great. Let’s face it. This shit takes time to sink in and digest. It can feel pretty low at times, and it may appear that there is no relief around the corner. A drink or a hit starts sounding pretty good when those conditions persist for a substantial length of time. You may feel like saying, “Fuck it!” and letting those inner demons gang-rape your mind. That’s right! Demons skull fucking you! I said it! Don’t get all worked up about it. They are not that good-looking. Do your best to “play the tape forward” and remember what usually happens when you think and act along these lines. Does it work out well? When was the last time it did? Never? Of course not. So, push those skull-fucking demons aside, and let’s get back to the business of living life today. Are you in?
