Days We Look Forward To Are Dangerous.

@Friday I'm not sure for certain what you meant, or which way you meant it. Know hope is not something easy for you (or me)- forgive me if 'easy' is the wrong way to put it- so hope is dangerous.

On the other hand danger can make me feel alive. Just enough stimulation for focus but not when it's overflowing the stress cup. But I don't go looking for it.

Did you mean either of these things, or something else entirely?

Because we thrive where others freeze.....we live on the adrenaline edge.

Danger and chaos feel normal, like what it should be like....

Which is why so many of us end up in high risk jobs

Damn—so true!! I remember learning that part of recovery is tolerating the “boredom” of healthy relationships and normal life.

Can’t feel the pain of disappointment as much if you expect the worst.

the worst expectation that led to the most disappointment recently for me personally: Conquering an addiction would be the cure for the cause of that addiction.

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Right as rain, yes. Then realize as quickly as you can that the next thing that happens doesn't magically happen on level ground, drop that expectation before it does harm. The next thing that happens is the slow noticing of small things that are getting better. Still a disappointment? Notice smaller things. Thats my way of avoiding disappointment, today, right now. without hating hope for causing disappointment.
