Hi Nest buddies!

I just want to thank Byrdie and eveyone for the wonderful hat! As many of you know, this is not my first 30-day celebration. I have collected four hats to wear on different occasions now! Sometimes it takes falling off and getting back up many times before we finally get it - before we finally say enough is enough. I really hope and pray that I'm finally at this point.

31 days ago, I knelt down in my living room and had a long heart-to-heart talk with God and my mother (she passed away almost eight years ago). I asked forgiveness, and I also asked for a sign to show me how to stay sober - not stay sober in spurts, but FOR GOOD. I cried and prayed harder. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a terribly religious person, but I felt something that day.

The definition of insanity kept coming into my head. I am doing the same things over and over again and expecting the same results. I'm doing the same things over and over again and expecting to get sober.

That's it! I have to change my plan. It's not working!

So, I started pouring over my memories of all the posts and books I've read about getting sober. And then it hit me....

Spirituality. It's missing from my life. I'm missing that fundamental connection to nature. I'm so busy worried about work and school that I'm not taking the time to explore the beauty around me. Without spirituality, I've just been a shell of a person. And even worse, I've replaced it with drinking for many years.

I know that only time will tell, but I'm really hoping this is the missing piece. There might be other missing pieces (I imagine there are), but I think spirituality is a huge one. I've started going to the Universalist Unitarian church here (it's very liberal), and I'm making more time for walks and hikes. I am waking up with the sunrise and thanking God for another day of sobriety. I am spending more time with my dogs. I spent an amazing weekend in the mountains last weekend, and it was so good for my soul.

OK folks, enough rambling from me.....

My next goal is 48 days. That will be the longest I've been sober in my entire adult life!
