Time

Time is a funny thing. At least the concept of time is in relation to maintaining sobriety. For example, I have been sober for almost 5 months. Typically 5 months doesn't seem that long to the average adult and normally it doesn't to me either EXCEPT the past 5 months. Time has rarely ever gone as slow as it has seemed to during this time period. It's discouraging. What's more discouraging is realizing just how long it will take me to truly get my shit together. I have had unhealthy attachments with people for all of my life and tumultuous and problematic relationships for the past 22 years. I have unresolved issues with my dad and low self-esteem problems. I struggle with addictions to relationships and food. All of this baggage is going to take so long to work through, I wonder if I will ever actually make it to the point of truly feeling happy and content?!
