The hardest thing for me to do at this moment is to pick up a drink. To do so is an act of su***de.
I plan to live a long life. Whether I choose to live in America after what happened last night and what will likely happen in the next decade or so, if we’re lucky, is not a today problem.
Drinking will make anything I might do impossible.
So here’s my checklist for today. I suggest it be yours:
1) Did you mediate, pray, and/or exercise?
2) Did you help someone in need?
3) Is your living space clean? (bed made, kitchen sink clear, clothes off the floor etc.)
4) Are there any projects or payments that require attention?
5) Have you eaten (or as they say in Pittsburgh “J’eat yeht?”)
6) Are you limiting your time looking at a screen?
…seriously, get off social media for a few days.
Be proactive, not reactive. It just may save your life.
With all sincerity, good luck. With that I’ll pass…
