All By Myself

So I'm sitting alone right now in a room full of people. I'm at an AA meeting in a grand ballroom during Spring Fling. In the part this would have terrified me. Even if I knew every person in the room I would have been alone. Let's be honest...I wouldn't have come. That was my first thought today...just don't go. Then my favorite support person told me to go. I think she wanted me out of the house, so I suited up with every intention of going shopping. That would be followed by a lie, which I don't do anymore. So here I sit...ready to listen, by myself, but never alone.......... Not now, not in sobriety.

A New Me

My first blog! Inspired by my new life, a fabulous woman and my need to journal...I've chosen a life of sobriety out of necessity. My new world is foreign. I am now accountable for my actions, my thoughts and my words. I am living and learning every day. What I know is that I have been blessed with amazing people in my life who are my friends, my teachers and examples of how to live each day...one at a time. My only job is to be open and willing to learn from their actions and words.
