"There are certain thoughts that can hollow us out over time, like the fox who quietly ate the midsection of the boy of Sparta. But the thing about these kinds of thoughts is they lose their power when they’re brought into the safe space of the tribe."
Do you have Tribe or has it been hard to find others to trust and rely on?

Both daughters have been suicidal. Both daughters have been to rehab and never finished the program. Both daughters have had drinking problems. Both daughters now have medical problems related to their drinking, smoking, and drug abuse. We tried to point them in the right direction such as Junior ROTC and putting them in a Catholic School but social media with our druggie family on my wife's side helped make them what they are today. They have no aspirations to fix themselves. Just waiting for the welfare check and a chance to go buy more cigarettes and who knows what drugs or alcohol.

I have no tribe to rely on except my Wife.
I've transferred to many units being officer. What I can tell you is that being sober, not smoking, not drinking and not abusing (even legal drugs) will definitely help you. I have two 20-something stepdaughters who have had issues with depression, drugs, one being transgender, both drinking and doing all kinds of drugs and both of them have dropped out of school years ago as well as both being on welfare here in Canada.
They have no goals, they stay up all night(one gets up and used to go to drink and Karaoke but now she has been banned from that bar due to her drama) and sleep all day and feel sorry for themselves and maybe they want to play guitar or do a gig somewhere all while they're smoking cigarettes, wasting their lives on facebook aka wastebook and putting pictures of themselves on Instagram looking like they're stressed out about the future blowing, with nothing to do except smoke,but yet they did it to themselves with drugs and alcohol!
If you feel depressed, talk to your chaplain, your therapist and seek help not by smoking or drinking, but actually by picking up the phone or talking to somebody. It could also be as easily done as kicking the alcohol habit and going to work out. My 21 year old step daughter used to play soccer well as a teenager but she got into drugs and now she needs a pacemaker but she's too afraid to get one that the Canadian government will pay for free. She still goes out and smoke cigarettes daily and taking a chance with her life every time she lights up.
