"Everything else is a distraction."
I am very grateful that I have my priorities set in life. I know what I want to do, where I want to go, and who I want to be. This realization did not happen overnight. I actually got started on working on myself and doing everything I need to do to improve myself after I got sober in late 2017. This meant going through a lot of trial and error, making lots of mistakes along the way, and doing a whole lot of soul searching. And listening. That is what it took for me to finally get to the point where I am today. I also had a bit of inspiration from my loved ones on the other side. All of that work has helped me to become the person I am today. But I’m not at the end of my journey yet. I still have a ways to go to get to where I want to be. And because of this, it’s easier for me to turn away from anything that I know will take me off that path. I won’t allow anything into my life that I KNOW will disrupt my plans or the goals that I want to achieve...
