Army Thread Friday 22nd February
Good arvo all!
Ah yes it's Friday. And thank feck for that... I can get off the hamster wheel till next week.
Last night we had graduation night for the alumni of the IOP place I go to. (It's also an inpatient facility and has been going strong, as a non-profit organization, for over 40 years. Had I known about it, I'd have gone to rehab there instead.) Anyhoo, this is the song that gets played at the end of the graduations... not a dry eye in the place. (Mind you it was a room full of recovering alkies, druggies and their families, so it wouldn't be hard to make that lot cry!!!)

On Wednesday night, I had my first big challenge since I got out of rehab... stressful as all get out but I'm still alive and kicking and I've pretty much processed it all. It was a major trigger though and I would be lying if I said it didn't make me feel like getting trolleyed. My head was all over the shop yesterday but I took myself off to group last night and processed it with the therapist and the girls and walked out the door feeling calm again... it was awesome. :h
Dinner tonight has been cut back to my two room mates from rehab. There was an incidence of theft at one of the half-way houses yesterday and it was generally agreed that I'd be chancing my luck bringing the rest of them to my house. Sad, but it is what it is. I know the people in question and with that kind of behaviour relapse can't be far off.
(
I'm off to the gym in a few, then the frigginsupermarket, then shower, pick up one of my room mates, off to Walmart and Costco, pick up second one and we can pootle around the kitchen making stuff to go with a Costco rotisserie chicken.
But first of all... time for a ciggy in the garage!
Least I'm not smoking in the house... YET!!! :H
