And the thing is, I’m not going to try to be nearly superhuman. Not anymore. Until I got sober, I thought sobriety was something you could berate yourself into, but it doesn’t work that way. To stay sober, I have to allow myself to be just a person who does her best. And it doesn’t really matter that my best is still a pretty fucking lofty standard; by Amazon standards I will always be failing just a little bit.
