The Universe has pushed me over a few cliffs in my lifetime and I have the scars to prove it.

It’s curious the things we end up aligning ourselves with as an identity, especially when we’re young. it seems most times it ends up being not a deliberate choice but rather the closest or most convenient thing at the time. Sort of like someone who is drowning is going to grab for the first thing that comes by - and that’s your safety raft from then on.

If I was to attend my version of an “AA” meeting, my introduction would sound something like,

“Hi, my name is Amy and I over identify with suffering.”

My drink of choice was a stiff self owned internal ass whipping on the regular. I could, and still can, get drunk in it until it seems almost poetic for me.

Anyone know where I could find a meeting like that?

Thanks for sharing your personal shit storm story. 😉
