Sometimes, especially early in recovery, it feels like we are taking two steps forward and one step back. Go forward twelve steps and you'll never have to go back.
Boy, did I ever have to learn this the hard way. Probably because I kept looking for the "easier, softer way" I hope that I never have to go back, so I keep trying to move forward, in my life and in my recovery, one day at a time. Just as you all have taught me. Today is sunny and warm in the great Pacific NW. Heading out to mow the grass, then to homegroup group conscience, maybe pick up a service position for the next year if it is to be, then a street dance bbq in a quaint little Norwegian town a few miles away later this evening. Before I used to sit in the house and think about doing things and only make it as far as the next drink. I am so blessed not to live like that any more. Thank you HP, AA and all my friends here at MIP and here at home. Peace

Lol Angell.. That's been my life for the past 87 days.. I have to remind myself constantly that, yes, I am still new to this and it's gonna be tumultuous. But still a world away from where I was at 88 days ago:)
