#I stg if I keep hearing and seeing the phrase ‘progress not perfection’ I’m going to screech at the sky#like there’s nothing wrong with the intent or the sentiment#it’s that I heard it so much in al anon#where like…what progress was being measured exactly?#drives me even nuttier coming from steppers#your goal is abstention dressed in the name ‘sobriety’#what is abstention from alcohol or ‘sober days’ if not a perfect record of unblemished time?!#do you hear yourselves and the glaring contradictions?#oh one day at a time pal really?#how do you think temporality works for the rest of us schlubs eh?#just zipping around five months here back two weeks there?#I get that getting past a struggle is hard#I was a bulimic so believe me I know#but making that struggle your personality just means never moving past it yknow?#anyway#nobody’s asking for you perfection!#unless it’s a group of peers telling you to turn in your chips for ‘backsliding’ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
