Day #112

As the continuance moves along...

Day #111

I was at a meeting the other day and a thought popped into my head. The thought was a continuation of a video I remembered seeing while I was in treatment that stated how a relapse is imminent once a person forgets the bottom that was reached. Everyone has a different rock-bottom, of course, but mine was one where I had come to the realization that my physical health was extremely threatened.

Hell, it was threatened to the point that I was losing control of my body, it seemed.

Once I was in the hospital and my head had been scanned, it was evident that a stroke had taken place. Of course, that was due to my blood pressure but that was out of whack due to my affair with booze.

So...to this day, I've got a reminder of my rock-bottom every time I get out of my vehicle and walk. It's getting better, mind you, but any sense of smoothness in my gait is gone for now and my brain makes the connection every time for me.

I do appreciate the effort it's going through, though.

Day #110

A little late here today...

There was something that I wanted to explain, but I don't recall right now...

Day #109

Still making it, apparently.

Day #108

Regardless of the weather, it's another new day.

These things happen...

Day #107

Kind of a cool weekend going here, apparently...

Day #106

I'm planning on a different meeting tonight. It's chaired by Earle at the treatment center I went to.

Nothing wrong with mixing it up every once in a while, I guess.

Day #105

A fairly good morning in oh-so-many ways.

Trust me.

Day #104

I should not be this tired.

I slept well yesterday, but here it is...

Day #103

Regardless of whatever else at this point in time, everything seems to be going fairly well.

Except that.

And maybe that.

Argh...

Day #102

On Day #100, I got the opportunity to stop by the treatment center and drop in to see Antonette, my counselor.

It was nice to talk to her again, even as I begin to pass through the memories of everyone that works there.

I'm supposed to, actually. In the long run, it's what happens when you work with a lot of people.

Day #101

Actually got a decent night's sleep for a change. That's nice when it happens.

Day #100

Alert! Big (not very!) round Base-10 number alert!

Just so you're aware.

Day #99

99
I've been waiting so long...
Oh, 99

There's a song I have not heard in a while...

Day #98

At least that one thing I'm working on is going relatively well.

Of course, it is kind of important...

Day #97

Once again, I'm almost thinking that this stuff is easy...

Day #96

I am thinking of going to a meeting on Wednesday night in place of my Tuesday night...

There are different theories on this...

Day #95

Too tired to do anything but leave this line for you.

Day #94

I hope everyone has a good Easter.

That is all.

Day #93

A travel day.

These things happen, I guess.

Day #92

Heading off into another weekend. It used to be easier to transition into these weekends, I think....

Day #91

Almost forgot to mention it this morning...

Day #90

We were talking about AA's organizational structure (there isn't any...) last night at a meeting.

One of the AAers in attendance referred to himself as an "Alpha" dog.

Seriously, I believe that to be one of the last things an actual alpha dog would say.

I'm just saying that I'm glad to be at 3 months, apparently.

Day #89

Too tired to even really think straight at this point, it seems.

Eventually I get to go to sleep today...

Day #88

There's not too much going on today but I will have to admit that I'm kind of tired...

Day #87

Sundays were almost always the easiest kind of days to make it through...

Day #86

There will be further commentary later, perhaps, but for now I will just say I'm glad to still be here...

Day #85

Made it...again.

(Really, I hate to seem overconfident but it has gotten a lot easier in the past couple of weeks...

The reason I hate to get overconfident is because that's exactly when the substance gives another try...and I don't want that!)

Day #84

If I can manage to figure out my scanner at some point today, there's going to be a pictorial treat for you guys tonight...

In other news, Day #84 isn't looking too bad, either.

Day #83

Not that there's all that much going on today, I guess, but it is nice to make it past another day, I guess.
