I'm speaking tonight at the large speaker meeting. It's a 2 speaker meeting, & I have about 20 min. It's daunting, because the meeting is large (100 give/take), but it gives me a chance to look at my addiction & recovery. My inclination is to take notes & try to get it perfect, but that's part of my disease. I'm mulling it all around in my head & will go w/what comes out tonight.
I'm always surprised at how the "clouds" of moods & incidents pass away. I used to drink over the ups & downs of life, thus compounding them. I didn't realize that I could:
-discuss.
-try to settle things.
-wait it out.
-etc.
I thought everything that happened was the be-all & the end-all. Now I know that life is meant to be lived, not avoided.
I hope all is well. If you haven't shared here, please feel free to do so. You don't have to say anything earth-shattering. Just a little bit of courage, strength, or hope will do.
Mary
