Hi All! I haven't been on this board in awhile--busy living life on life's terms. All is well.
10 months sober.
Going to meetings.
Calling my sponsor.
Not drinking
Living.
It's good.
Amazing doors have opened for me as I'm learning to ask for my HP's will for me and the power to carry it out: opportunities to get paid doing what I love, new friends, new social opportunities, chairing a meeting, service opportunities.
Life isn't perfect. I'm learning that life is a beautiful and complex system of imperfections--and I'm so grateful for that.
The external world is the same: divorce from an active addict, conflict, financial insecurity, car repairs, flat tires, traffic, laundry, bills, kids, pets... It's my internal world that has changed. Inside, things feel so much better. I never knew laughter could feel better and come from a deeper place inside me.
I still cry and have my moments in the grips of fear. It's all part of the complex system of life.
It's always great to know others are working the program and staying sober ... looks like you're closing in on 11 months ... Congrats ... darn near a year already ... I pray you can sit back and enjoy the coming holidays with a smile in your heart ... the holidays are so much more enjoyable when we're sober ...
