Making the time

[varkam]

Hey all -

I'm in a bit of a tough situation at the moment. For the past week or so I feel like I've been in a deep spiritual pit. Of course, that makes dealing with my addiction so much harder. I can handle it on my own - but only for a time. It is inevitable that I will eventually crash and burn on my own, and so I need that spiritual connection with my HP. Usually I don't have a huge problem with that - but for the past bit it has been exceedingly difficult.

I think that part of it has been the stress and demand on my time that school has become. I haven't had a lot of time for self-care. It has been go, go, go, and it is only going to get worse from here until the end of the semester.

So I guess that's why I'm writing this - I need to make the time for that self-care. I need to set aside time for some reflection, some writing, some relaxing. So I went to a meeting tonight, and that was good. I also reached out to a friend in need by meeting with him for coffee afterwards, and now I'm sitting down to write this.

So I'm feeling a bit better now. I'm going to get some good sleep, and try to start tomorrow off right.

Thanks for reading.
