Remember back in September when I was shocked by the way had slowly, insidiously crept back into my world? Just weeks after that sad observation I left for treatment, thinking, apparently mistakenly, that it would the process through which we would disentangle ourselves. I was wrong – you conned me into believing that I was …
It’s like the proverbial pebble in the shoe. It starts off as a small rattle. You are aware of something that you were previously unaware of. Where you once felt comfortable, suddenly you are feeling an irritation. Time passes, you continue to go about your business and the pebble starts to feel more like a …
I was riding with a girl friend and her husband, coming home from a speaking commitment in Belleville, NJ. It had been a pretty eventful night. At 26 days of sobriety, my willingness had been tested when I was kindly pushed into speaking at a pretty large meeting. It was a 3 speaker meeting and I was …
Growing up, if I wasn’t 100% sure that I’d be the best at something, I just wouldn’t try at all. I was a swimmer during my adolescence, and typically I swam freestyle and backstroke. And I just about always won. I remember one time swimming breast stroke and lagging behind. The humiliation I felt, I can …
Woke up late this morning…I hate when I do that!!! I finally decided to roll out of bed at around 10:30. I missed the meeting I usually go to. I think it’s time to whip my butt into gear! Read a meditation. Go to the gym. I already ate breakfast. Today is going to be …

Today was a great day. I was busy all day. Not too much time to think… And when I did start thinking, I picked up the phone. Reaching out and being honest about my feelings has been the hardest but one of the most rewarding tools of this program. And I’ve done this very thoroughly …
Sometimes I feel as if recovery is not happening fast enough. Would I get better quicker if I constantly read the Big Book during my free time? If that’s the case, maybe I’ll begin doing that on a nightly basis before I retire for the night, because I never want to experience being a newcomer …
I feel significantly better. Went to an amazing meeting and feel very grateful to be sober. I have a world of oppurtunities ahead of me, and I look forward to what tomorrow will bring. Today was, for the most part, kind of a down day. And I’ve been having really great days as the result of …
I am having a really terrible day today, which I know has been a choice. Now I’m making the choice to change my perspective and turn it around because it’s not working to sit in self pity. I’m obsessing over family issues, job issues, money issues, and relationship issues…I think I’m obsessing like this because I …
