Friday 19 January!
Hi everybody,
Well I *finally* have phone and internet at my new place.... I moved in last weekend but wasn't "connected" to the world until yesterday afternoon. So if you've wondered where I disappeared to, I've been unpacking and arranging (and rearranging) the furniture.
When I first got here and had no phone, internet or television I thought it was going to drive me batty because those things are so much a part of my routine. Over the last few months, the internet has been a lifeline to me, as my morning routine has been to get up and read/post at MWO for an hour or so while having coffee and waking up. It's a part of my recovery program, just as going to AA meetings is for many people.
But other than that, I must say that I enjoyed the lack of television in the house... I realized just how much I've come to use it as a diversion when I want to "zone out," especially after a long day at work. I'm going to see what I can do to reduce its use... only turn it on for specific shows or periods of time etc.
I'm also starting the transition into my new job. I'm part time in the old job, part time in the new one. The people and energy are just great in the new office and I'm really looking forward to being there full time.
So there are lots of positive changes going on here for me. And I'm very happy that alcohol is no longer a part of my life. I'm not sure I could be doing any of this if it were...
Hope you are all having a great day. TGIF! And watch out for those Friday cravings, if Friday is a trigger for you~
