As For Patience… I Have None

From time to time we all struggle right? So what am I struggling with at the moment? Patience. Actually a lack of patience better describes it.

There are times when I go along feeling pretty centered. Unshakable even. Right now? Not so much. I'm flying off the handle more often than I would like.

So how do you deal with a lack of patience? No really, I'm asking. So far... I'm not dealing so well. I find myself shaking my head a lot and saying "I can't, I just fucking can't". Well that's no way to deal right.

But then you know, you think of some of the things that you've learned in recovery. Usually about this time a nice recovery catch phrase fits nicely. Something like... "this too shall pass". You just kind of hang on and ride it out.

So that's where I am at right now... just trying to hang on and ride it out. I'll let you know how that works out for me
