Just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. Probably going into a 90 day program. Right now that sounds like a vacation. I've lived most of my adult life in institutions. Jails, institutions, and ????? Well, I'm alive and sober. Not so much by choice right now because things suck. I am still having trouble comprehending what has happened. Crapola. I'm gonna go to a meeting here in a couple hours. Will report back later. Thanks Friends
Good for you, Justin. I did not know if I really "wanted" this sobreity thing when I first came back from a heavily drug and alcohol infested relapse just over 30 days ago. But I WANTED to want it, which was good enough to follow others' advice. At 30 days, things are looking MUCH brighter. Get some help from people who can get you there, Justin. Stop worrying about the past, and how you felt last week, and how many months and years you had before these recent struggles and focus on TODAY and TODAY ONLY. Don't THINK, just DO whatever the wise people around you suggest. It is working for me.
I am sending a big hug and prayers for you right now.
Joni
