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.

Good to hear you made the right decision. I'm not sure what sparked this volunteer work, but it's cool to hear your life is moving in the right direction.
