I know this made gigantic sense to me when I read it and it sounds like you are experiencing sort of the same thing. The struggle to not let myself struggle makes perfect sense to me, too. I had to learn (and am still learning) how to get out and stay out of my own way, so to speak; learn to live with the peace. Nice post. Good stuff to share.

It was quite an eye-opener and an important moment in my recovery. I think we often concentrate on all the negative stuff. It's easy to ignore the fact that most of us self-sabotage the good stuff too.

But I think my motivation is control. Once I feel like everything is under reasonable control (relationships with my family, work projects, housework, churchwork, etc) I start subconsciously looking for which spinning plate is going to start wobbling first. It's exhausting and I have to fight it more than I care to admit. I go through this a lot. But I think my motivation is control.
