During the last few months I have been watching a young man turning his energy from self sabotage towards success. His words, attitudes and physical demeanor were reflecting a different person. A person who believed in himself, was recognizing he had created his challenges and was talking about what he wanted in his life. This was totally different than what had been occurring during the last few years. In one moment he sabotaged and began heading back down.
He lost his job (due to his mouth) he began to blame his diabetes and others for his loss. He changed and it became obvious he was smoking pot. He smelled of pot, his attitude was one of being high. He returned to the path that was comfortable and yet will destroy him.
I have learned over the course of my life that any self destruction is an attempt hide emotional pain. I have gone through many challenges, addictions, and when I finally realized I was giving power to emotions that were negative and destructive my life changed. I began to understand that no one can destroy me. Only I have that power.
Be glad you are drinking tea daily and not filling your body with destructive drugs but make sure you are not avoiding destructive emotions.

Yes tea is a wonderful thing just the taste uplifts you, its very easy for people to blame external forces the easy way out, its harder for them to look within themselves and figure out why things have gone wrong.And yes drugs a complete no no no.
You are correct, looking in takes courage and strength.
