Story Time: No Rabies, No STDs and No Broken Bones

The waves.  I can hear the faint sounds of waves crashing close by.  I feel the early morning dawn on my skin. I start licking my lips and I can feel sand crunch between my teeth.  There is something next to me. I can feel the warmth of someone next to me.  My mouth is so dry.  My head is pounding. I feel so disoriented.

Story Time:  My Daily Numbing With VibeWithMolly / VibeWithMommy

I want to re-create/re-live my day to day morning routine when I was at my lowest point. Now that I'm sober, I can vividly remember this routine. I feel like I'm watching a movie about someone else's life. This can't be me. I wasn't THAT bad. But I'm realizing when you're in the thick of your numbing you can't see clearly. No one could've convinced me that I had a drug and alcohol problem. In my mind I'd say, "I don't drink EVERY day. I take a couple days off here and there. GEZ everyone needs to CHILL and let me do my thing."  I try not to judge myself too much. But when I look back at the things I've done, I can't help but feel ashamed. I guess this is part of the healing process. Re-visiting your mistakes and the people you've wronged. It's painful, it's hard, but finally it's something REAL!
