I met a woman, and we hit it off very well. We talk for hours over the phone, say goodbye 15 times before we hang up, and have found mutual understanding on a deep level, almost scarry. To top it off, we're both single parents and share a lot of the same ideals about our futures and what we want. Uncanny. We both recognize that. Which is maybe why I have not yet scared her off being the big, Dumb, Flopping Idiot that I happen to be. She just backs off and lets me cool off, and of course cools off her self. You people know what I'm talking about? This drunk demand for instant gratification in all things? Something good comes along and you just gotta grab ahold like you've gotta figure out some kinda magic trick to make things happen so you don't loose something you don't even yet have?
I was just damned fine before I met her.
Any of you geniuses been sucsessful in struggles like this? I'm a willing student. Teach me.
eh. I know the answers. Just living in them is the deal. Interesting how new experiences in sobriety bring to light entire landscapes of facets of our character invisible before. I'll be better and wiser in the end however things unfold.
