I spent years trying to fix myself and be the perfect girlfriend, only to fail spectacularly every time. Then, after that relationship ended, I started trying to get sober for real, after trying about a million times before. It wasn’t until I let go of meeting external standards for just about everything that I was able to piece together exactly what works for me in terms of sobriety and simply be free to love my life (my internal standard) rather than achieve it.
I’d love to hear how you are becoming freer to love your life or about your own internal standards!
