This is something I am just starting to explore. How we tell the same "story" over and over - whether it makes us feel good or bad, because it is the story we know.
In recognising that we are repeating this story, though, we have the power to change it. So knowing that you are returning to the same comforts or addictions is a sign of growth, OK? It's self-realization. It doesn't mean than we change our choices or that we don't do those patterns again, but the awareness itself is enough for now.

We can start to ask ourselves questions about why we do the things we do. We can start to ask ourselves if we can do somethings differently, or what would happen IF we did some things differently. It's very mind opening.

I think you have made a quantum leap in realizing that there is a pattern.
p.s. I missed you so much my toes hurt! Welcome back
love
