Tomorrow (11/20/02) I will have 6 months clean and sober. That means 6 months of no smoking and no drinking. 6 months of being able to leave the house without the essentials: the weed, the rolling papers, the pipe, the matches, the lighter. The breath mints and eye drops. 6 months of being in the world. Sober. Feeling my feelings. Not numbing myself. It's not easy. The world is too real these days without drugs or alcohol. So, this is life huh?As my first sponsor said to me once, "Welcome to your feelings." Ouch. In this picture I am leaving a lunchtime AA meeting.
