Tonight, I scored a victory against my demons. I was scheduled to volunteer for 2 hours and had driven to the hospital an hour early to begin my shift. I sat in the car and read a new book for some time while wrestling with the urge to drive off and be dishonest about my volunteer work that evening. I hadn't done this before, but as the time approached for me to start my shift my desire to drive off faded and I went in to volunteer.
Driving off would have caused drama. My demons do their best to cause drama. As I get older and wiser, I'm finally able to control these destructive decisions. I will be the person I want to be and there won't be any more unreasonable decisions.
Score one for me.
