Feeling done. Just come to the realization that I gave up sometime last year and have even managed to fool myself in the last year. I tried new things, went new places, met new people, made future plans...and when I recently realized that I failed at all of my future plans, I also realized it's because I half assed the attempts at accomplishing them. Not intentionally. I worked my ass off....yet I don't think I ever really thought they'd work out. I just want to go back home...not that home actually makes me happy. In fact, I'm almost certain home won't make me happier at all but will solidify the feeling that I'm worn out and done trying. Here and there I'm still pretending to make future plans to go out west, push myself through it all and come out on the other side...but if I'm to be perfectly honest with myself I just don't have any desire to do that anymore. I can't think of one single thing that would make me happy and motivated...so basically I just want to get home to my warm bed, be around people I know...and give up completely. I feel so drained and so resigned. I'll still tell myself and others that I'm trying for my goals again next year, lesson learned, bump in the road blah blah blah...but to be honest I don't even see another year out of this. I'm not sure why I feel like I have to get home so desparately but for some reason I feel like that's the only way to get the ball rolling to the end and I'm sick of hanging in limbo. I don't have specific plans...I just have this ominous feeling that within the next year I'm just going to disappear. And I don't care.
There are many paths to fulfillment and far from many are straight. If you can enjoy yourself along the way that would be a privilege.
As for me, I'm grinding right now over something a person at an aftercare program for my rehab said to me. From the start, he was giving me a condescending attitude about how I've relapsed w/ booze twice: "This is like a revolving door for you, blah, blah, blah." Then, as we were casually talking before things started he made some comment about how at least I'm not dressing like a junkie anymore (what he meant is I'm not dressing as overtly punk as I usually do). Yeah, I'm not wearing a leather jacket b/c it is 95 fucking degrees out. Ostensibly, he turned it into if I dress like that then I don't really want to be sober. What the fuck kind of thing is that to say to a guy? Not talking to that guy again.
