yes it was a very good day today. i was proud of myself for being productive. i was going to wake up and go to church this morning at 730 but since i didnt get to bed till 5 and only got 2 hours of sleep i decided not to go. other than that it was good. i went to the dog warden and dropped off all my donations i do it every year. then i went to tractor supply to see what they had on sale because my baby boy (horse) needs some christmas presents. then i went to walmart to get socks for some family that my group is sponsoring. anddddd i ran into all kinds of people there that i havent seen in FOREVER! like the secretary at the high school that i was pretty close with and my old dance teacher from like 5 years ago. she didnt look to good. she looked like she was on drugs and i wouldnt be surprised because shes a nut. but whatever it was still good to see her. then i came home and ate lunch and talked to manon for a bit thennnnnnnnnnnnn i went with my roomie to cut down our christmas tree which was nice that she took a day off to actually do something with me. and man it was big as fuck and heavy too. but we got one. then i went to get gas, smokes, mail our netflix, went to the bank, and bought a secret santa present. then i took a very needed shower and had to help my neighbor catch their dog and i lost my insurance card on the counter somewhere and i cant find it. oh well. and i re-discovered soooooo much music that i FORGOT about and i love it even more now then i did then. so im happy today.

thanks for the reminder. I can sit and vegetate very easily, but there is no doubt I feel much better about myself when I'm busy and productive. Good for you.
Way to go LizC, you are living in the moment, and I am so happy you are happy! Thats super that you are thinking of others, and helping so many including your "baby" horse. I think you are going to have some great sailing in your future. There will be storms along the way, but you seem to have your ship headed in the right direction, and after what has happened I think the voyage ahead will be on course. I'm also happy your roomie has spent some time with you also. I'm so proud of you! (More hugs)
[Click here to start writing your quick reply.]Just some poetic thoughts, because good days can feel strange: What a strange sensation to wake up without dread eager, almost, to leave the bed to enter the new day. Sober!
How odd it seems to look straight into morning's mirror without cringing or averting my eyes, or worry.
What a relief it is to feel whole in body to own my mind to be free of anguish. to be at peace. Oh, my dear old enemy, so hard it was to leave you, but you lied, you took me out, you took me away from the beauty of life.
I miss you not anymore my bondage, my pain, where you once were, is filling now with flesh and blood friends with hope, with peace, with joy, with goodness. How strange it seems, still to clearly see the sunrise after a day and night sober well remembered. I will cherish this day forever.
