Five months sober in the program today! Just for today I will not drink!
Life is good today. No work today. It was a two day work week for me and I received all my insurance information yesterday which starts Aug. 1st. This is the second time I have ever had insurance! Tells you how much I have worked in my life!
Have to go out to Chicago today. Taking the train. This is kinda scary for me because I used to take the train out there when I didn't have a car and just walk around some not so nice areas. Life of a alcoholic/addict. Sounds like a book, doesn't it?
Anyways, today is truly a great day to have woken up sober! Isn't it?
I had a question for some of you. Do guys have pink fluffy cloud days? Or are they blue or green?
You know what gets me? Life is so good being sober for this lil time and the beautiful thing about it is I haven't seen nothing yet!
Just wanted to say thankyou to all of you on this forum for your support! Can't tell you how much this has helped me!
Cannot tell you how many times, your inspirational thinking and actions have 12 Stepped me, into a lighter attitude.
Was laughing at your comments yesterday, about your name and thought to myself - where is Just-In-Case??? HaHa. (That's the 10% that businesses add to a quote, in case something goes wrong.) Well, you my friend are that Just-in-Case.
Hope today is a great, great day, and congratulations on 5 months, a huge deal, and also on getting that insurance.
When I redid my computer you have to fill in the user name and business name(optional) and my user name is Just In Case and the business name Is Just In Case Co.!!! LOL!
Yay on your monthiversary and on your cloudy-ho...
I tend to get REAL AGGRAVATED when the pink cloud turns grey or even black... I am downright SPOILED with too many of the pink ones, it seems.
So when thing start to get blah, I b*tch when I need to, kick a pillow, get to more meetings, double-up on my program, MAKE myself get out of the house... even sleep a lot if necessary. Anything to get through it.
Funny, I used to think "Oh no, it's gone and it will never come back!!!" There goes my alcoholic catastrophic thinking... LOL Truth is, the joy WILL return.. either in a day, a week, or sometimes longer... and BOY am I ever grateful when it does!! Like today, I was thinking back to just the past few weeks, when I was really struggling not only with the alcoholic triggers, but with feeling anything at all other than blahhh... but I let people help me not pick up or call it quits... and voilla', here I am again in the Land of OK-ness. :o)
Enjoy Enjoy!!!! And don't worry about when it's gonna 'go away'... you can wonder about that when it comes!! JUST FOR TODAY!!!
YAAAAAY Justin!!! And that's just about five months that you have been sharing your ISH with us, so I can truly say, this five months have been a gift for ALL of us. With much love, Wren
