Day 43: Meetings, Steps, People, Etc.



sorry it took me so long. i'm working on day 43 (almost half way to the BIG 90!). i've been meaning to do an update, but am totally busy going to meetings (yeah, i found a really cool sponsor, and he's helping me to make it to meetings, work on the steps, and stay sober one day at a time), plus getting my life back on track. i feel like a train wreck survivor!

anyway, i wanna thank everyone that took the time to support me during those first few weeks of sobriety: all of you helped me to feel less isolated (and stay sober) big time, and i am totally grateful for that. now it's meetings every day, working on the steps, therapy, working, and cleaning up the mess that my life had become.

i won't be blogging as much as before, but i'll do my best to (at least) stop by and read my favorite blogs, plus leave a comment or 2. you guys totally rock! thank you for taking the time to offer emotional support when i needed it most :-)

Day 23: Janis Joplin Died 44 Years Ago...



today. i've been listening to pearl since late last night. her awesome quote makes me think of my own early sobriety, and how i really need to keep on keepin' on: blogging, therapy, meds, vitamins, cool music, eating right, running, working, meditating, being grateful for what i have (instead of dwelling on all i've lost).

it's day 23 for me. i used to not be able to go more than a day without booze. now i'm looking forward to staying sober for a whole month. yeah, no more compromising myself. i really am all i've got. we only get so many chances  in this brief life. i'm a totally lucky dude. i'm sober, have a roof over my head, plenty of healthy food in the house, and a really cool therapist to help me figure stuff out when i feel uncertain about what to do next.

plus i have this blog (and all the other awesome bloggers) to help me feel less isolated and everything. oh, and janis is keeping me company big time. she's singing me and bobby mcgee.

epic.

do you have a favorite janis joplin tune?
