The Shift
Lost my uncle and a close friend in the last two weeks.
Not gonna dress it up… it’s been heavy.
And I know exactly what the old version of me would’ve done —straight back on the booze.
No question.
That would’ve been the answer.Numb it. Block it out. Pretend I’m alright.
But this time… I haven’t touched it.And I’m not going to.
Not because I’m strong or switched on or anything like that…just because I’ve been down that road enough times to know where it ends.
And it’s not somewhere I’m willing to go back to.
That, for me, is a win.
Not a loud one. No big celebration.But it matters.
Made me think though…
What do you run to when things get hard?
Booze?Food?Scrolling?Shutting yourself off?
We all have something.
But the real shift happens when you start catching it…and choosing something different.
Even if no one else sees it.
That’s the stuff that actually changes you.
