Hey everyone!
I wanted to let ya'll know that I am still up and around, on the surface of the planet and not under it. As I think I have mentioned in some of my posts, my work has a seasonal aspect to it (kinda like when I used to pick blueberries, over in Jersey, for wine money) and right now it's gone from a sleepy, summer pace to the typical hectic east coast run'n gun, grab 'em before they drop crisis management frenzy that I complain about but thrive on. I've never really gotten into what I do for a living here, but suffice it to say that it's a service industry, dealing with people in extreme circumstances.
Anyway, I've missed you all. I'm clean and sober, doing my best to hit my little nucleus of meetings, keep in touch with my sponsor and the people who help me stay sober, do some kind of service whenever I can, and stay on my Higher Power's side of the street. It's a challenge to be the sane person in a crazy world, something we all learn in recovery, but it's very rewarding.
I'm going to try and get on at least twice a week or so, check in on all my fellow travelers along this highway, and maybe start a journal or something to share my experience strength hope bewilderment confusion fear & loathing, and whatever else I've go to share, except maybe lunch.
Hang in there, everybody!
