free association blogging 2/13/09

no major thoughts coming to mind. today was a really good day. its difficult for me to explain, or put in words, i feel good, i feel good about feeling good. a small sense or pride and self-respect has been planted in my spirit and i want to nourish that so it grows and blossoms like it never has before.

i had a disagreement with a relative today and it was empowering for me to accept "those are her issues" i already have my 2 bag limit for this flight, i can't carry hers. she needs to check some of that baggage or repack it so she can manage it herself, i can't take that on and i'm ok with that.

i was invited to a dinner with some wonderful new people that i've met through AA and met new people at the dinner. it was wonderful to have such a sense of belonging. i haven't felt that in a long time. it was great to share stories and feel the strength and support as we all shared.

one of my biggest fears of sobriety is "what the hell would i do?" how could i possibly have a life? having involved myself in these groups this past week is like looking at a brochure for a fantastic vacation resort and i can't wait to not visit there, but move there. it feels good to be living, rather than simply existing.

have a happy valentine's day!
