things are maybe alright

for quite a few years now I've had this philosophy that even if you're stuck taking 2 steps forward and 2 steps back, at least you're getting better at walking.
recently lost over a year of sobriety. but I've done this before, and I'll do it again.
hitting rock bottom is starting to feel a bit like tripping over my own feet. far too often, yet something I know how to recover from.
I spent quite a few years angry and hopeless over the idea that I'd never really be 'cured' of my various conditions, that I'd be stuck falling over and over again. I had to find another way to phrase it to myself, to make it feel less like punching a brick wall.
walking practice, recovery practice, feels a lot more hopeful
