Almost a year, I will have sustained from alcohol. Yes, on top of the mess I already have going on in my head, I drank to cope. I didn’t click with A.A. membership and just kept depending on the bottle. Finally, I reluctantly went to Celebrate Recovery. I did not like it at first. One day they played a Christian song that reached the depths of my soul, “Chainbreaker.” Ever since then I’ve only listened to Christian music in fear other music might trigger me. Today I took the leap into alternate music. Boy, it didn’t feel my soul but got me moving on my daily task. I know it can’t be my norm but today it was much needed to find that boost of energy. Also in hand, some coffee. Oh, and I drank a V8 Energy. The catch is to not drink to much of that energy crap or it could trigger a manic episode.
