Ism

10.16.25

Today was a busy day at work, and the meeting tonight hit right where I needed it to. It reminded me that no matter how packed my day gets, I have to start with the basics. When I don’t, I feel it. The unease, that low hum of discontent that follows me around. It’s wild how quickly it creeps in.

Just because I don’t turn to alcohol anymore doesn’t mean the problem disappeared. My ism is still there, waiting for an opening. It shows up in other ways. Impatience, restlessness, irritability. I have to keep it in check. Every single day.
