I was visiting another recovery blog reading about resistance to change. And It hit me Grow up!!! I full well know that as long as I DO NOT use any mood altering substance, work the steps and go to meetings my quality of life will always get better each day...Even on the really bad days. Like I said in my first post I've been a newcomer for 14 years...It's time to put everything I have learned into action It's time I take the first step towards long term sobriety.
Rereading my previous posts I just cant seem to shake off the feeling that I am planning to fail that I WANT to be homeless again...This disturbs me! I suppose I will from this day begin to plan to succeed!...
...I have to go to work today. Today ends my 3 1/2 days off. Man was this nice I didn't do ANYTHING...Well nothing that required physical labor..
I love birds. This morning A Sparrow outside my open window was chirping so loud he/she woke me up.(add 3 smiley faces)I would be perfectly content living as a hermit in the woods with my only company being Gods creation...

Hi Greg, Sorry I haven't commented before. I just today read your comment, thank you for your kindness, and it's nice when people relate. That's one of the best things about meetings, I don't feel so alone then, they're supportive. Anyway, about your blog. I would suggest you go to lots of meetings, talk to your sponsor, keep blogging, and keep it simple. Take one day at a time, or minutle depending on your attitude that day. Take it easy, but not too easy. Recovery takes work every day, or it will sneak up on you. You're new, so you don't have any defenses. Don't take this disease for granted, ever! I've been in and out 20 yrs. I have to use the tools offered me by AA. Hang on to your ass. Oh yea, reach out, it's ok to ask for help from your AA/NA friends, in fact, it's necessary. Hang in there!
