Being part of.
I seem to pulling out of my funk a bit and starting to face some of that wreckage (taxes) I keep having nightmares about.
I went to my home group meeting on Saturday morning and ran into my former counselor from the treatment center I got sober at. He’s a neighbor, too…well, he lives on the same road, anyway. He’s a good guy and seemed happy to see me and see that I was still sober. I have a feeling that longterm success is not the norm for him. That would get depressing. It was a great meeting. I think it was the first time I really felt like I needed a meeting. And I walked out feeling part of the fellowship of AA. That doesn’t happen too often.
Also made it to my women’s meeting last night and made an effort to be prepared for discussion of the 5th Tradition. And I did contribute (which is really, really hard for me). I’m really making an effort to get involved and meet some folks in the fellowship. Unfortunately, my friend T is not going to meetings and the last time I saw her at the kid’s school, she smelled like booze. I miss her so much. I used to talk her every day.
Addiction sucks. I hate it.
