Blogging Withdrawals but Alcohol-Free

Sigh. Life is a funny funny thing. Once you think you have it beat; that you have a nice routine and things in order, it throws you for a loop. Nothing crazy or unmanageable is happening, just changes in schedule. By changes, I mean the addition of enough activities and to-do's to literally consume practically my entire day from sun-up to down. I am looking forward to getting through the next 3 weeks and re-settling into a calmer and more merciful routine.  Things are good. Things would be better with time to reflect and breathe. And sleep. Shit, I miss sleep

I miss blogging. I miss reading all of your trials and successes, too. Some days (every 5th or 6th day, it seems), I really miss vodka. But, here I am, still making time for a handful of meetings each week, and at least 10 mins of meditation each day. Here I am, holding on and mostly trying to enjoy the sober ride. I have so much to say and a journal of scribbles and topics to prove it. For now, I am 43 days sober still and looking forward to reconnecting with this oh-so-important missing piece of my recovery.

Well-wishes to all of you and thanks to those who have noticed my absence and have checked in. Talk to you all very soon!
