THE CARD
A thought for the day.
Apparently, “ROAD CLOSED” wasn’t a decorating suggestion.
I ignored the signs. Drove my usual route. Sure as shit. Closed.
The Council of Idiots would like to appeal.
Reality has the final say. Not wanting it to be true doesn’t change the fact that it is.
Recovery is a daily practice of acceptance, honesty, and accountability.
I can start by turning the damn truck around.
What am I ignoring because I don’t want to change direction?
THE LESSON BEHIND THE LESSON
Turn the damn truck around.
A closed road doesn’t open just because it’s the way I wanted to go. I can argue with the sign, but the road remains closed.
Acceptance gives me a starting point. I can admit what’s in front of me, own my part where I have one, and ask what another route might look like.
That doesn’t mean I have to like every detour or stop trying when something matters. It means I have a better chance of moving forward when I stop pretending the barricade isn’t there.
What would one honest change of direction look like today?
