I see a lot of beauty and power in this, because I have come to appreciate my own self honesty and struggle. I empathise with your words, but of course each individual has their own personal demons and hurdles. You have good awareness, you seem to know yourself, and if you’re anything like me you’ll find a certain satisfaction in that. You can stop drinking and you can stop smoking, you’ve made a decision and you’re determined. Reward yourself for that alone. Be kind to yourself. The realist will admit that life is painful a lot of the time, I myself now(or currently) consider love and the loss of it, the highest form of grief one can endure. Block the world out and put ourselves on the throne, you are with yourself until you’re dead and that could be tomorrow, so love yourself now. It’s nice to hear someone else externalise their thoughts and feelings, as dark as they are.. all my friends have heard enough. Good luck, continue the good fight friend, and happy 40th, a fine age! Next year for me.
