hi all, this is day 1 of my blog. this idea was given to me by a truly dear and great friend of mine irene. i was telling her the events of my life over the past week and how i'm "turning the page" to borrow a line from my friend barack on my life. today is day 9 of sobriety for me. i have to tell you it feels pretty damn good.
this is, of course, primarily my way of meditating and reflecting on my day and blogging my way through sobriety. i hope you read, enjoy, laugh, and get a little something out of it as well. i invite your feedback and suggestions!
i was talking to a new friend of mine that i met while in treatment at le phillips (inpatient treatment center) today and it was amazing at first at how conversation really flowed between essentially 2 strangers. we were on the phone for nearly 40 minutes and were both in awe of what it is like to wake up in the morning and actually remember going to sleep the night before! i know that may sound bizarre to a lot of you, but for most of the past few years of my life i didn't go to sleep at night, i passed out.
the next morning it would be like sitting at the dining room table with a jigsaw puzzle in front of you trying to put the pieces together of the night before! Then of course is that 1st look in the mirror of the pumpkinesque puffiness of a drunks face! always attractive. i really enjoyed talking to rob today and wish him the best in his recovery too.
his wife, btw, is a hair stylist who this past weekend styled Joan River's hair before she performed on stage. how fantastic! i love her, i know everything about her is fake except her geniou-ness. at the end of the day isn't that what matters? for the better part of the past 10 years everything about me has been real except my geniou-ness.
hope you enjoyed!
