I've found myself thinking about dragons a lot. In stories there is a character being held captive by a dragon. For a long time I felt like the world was a dragon and I used alcohol to protect me but as time progressed I began to realize that I had it backwards and what I need to protect myself from was drinking. That's why the show #intervention is always extra heartbreaking when I catch an episode. You see family and friends putting on armor (metaphorically) suiting up to save someone they care about but when they reach the top of the castle not only does the person want to stay but also will defend the dragon that keeps them captive. I am still getting used to the idea of talking about sobriety online because I dont want to feel like I'm exploiting it, but it does help me being open about this. Also a good reminder to not go back to the dragon caves no matter how bad things get. * * * * #sobriety #dragons #smoothie #art #drinking #intervention #denver
