When I started this blog so long ago, I was looking for a livelier way to express my ideas that Typepad or Gather provided. I was also a functional alcoholic. I did not realize that until decades passed. Now, I am 6 years, 5 months sober and tonight I shared in the meeting. I thought about just hushing up and saying nothing, but as I shared, people in the chat of the meeting began messaging, "Thank you for sharing this." and "I needed to hear this." It turns out that most of them had less than 30 days of sobriety from alcohol or drugs. I post this to encourage you to speak up for yourself and say what you think because there may be one person who needs to hear what you know, especially if you are in a support meeting. I am one of the "boring" ones who goes to work every day, works out, and eats right. I'm never bored and that kind of life - normal - was just something that the people who were 28 hours to 33 days sober could not yet conceive. I am thrilled to be the "boring" one. I am blessed and grateful for it. So, if you read this and you are usually that person who sits silently and just listens, say what you think. You could help. You have knowledge. At least one person can benefit. Thanks for reading.

My face was naked without glasses earlier this week. 😯 Visionworks came to the rescue. 🤓 I had to leave my dear desk to hit the mall though. I admit to a side trip to the MAC counter. And Chick-fil-A. And Starbucks. Okay, I missed going to the mall.
