sometimes life is about putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward. I am trying to practise self-acceptance. It helps to get acceptance here. I am trying to figure out what all I need to do in order not to have my life spiral out of control again. It isn't going to be one or two things. I think the bottom line issue is impulsivity. Can a person train themselves to never act again on their impulsive, self-destructive ideasl, or is it more about getting rid of those ideas altogether.

I don't know the answer but whatever it is is something that requires learning about one's self and life-long dedication.
