One Day at a Time

Busy busy busy today. Just took a time out for lunch. Been making my way around doing some job hunting before work. Would like a better full-time job, but will also take a second part-time gig to supplement my current income (for now). It's not as hard as it sounds. I'm confident that if I keep my nose to the grindstone, I'll be in a very good spot soon.

I have Wed. and Thurs. off this week, so I'm already working on a list of goals. I'll make a couple of meetings on each of those days... oh.... and I finish my 5th step Wed. night.... Gotta call Second Harvest. After the first of the year I'm doing a food drive for them where I work. Just have to round up some banners and containers.

I'm getting ahead of myself, though. One day at a time.

Well, there ya go. Just a quick post. Nothing mind-blowing so far today. Except that I'm alive and sober. That's a gift right there, and I am eternally grateful for it.

I get off late, but I'll write more tonight.

Exhaustion and Future Steps

I'm a bit late posting. I was on the phone for a while with a friend. Not much to write about today. The Mustard Seed was ok. I just don't relate well with the guy who moderated. Doesn't seem very happy in his recovery. He acts as if it is more of a chore. I have to remember, though, that it is his recovery. We all do it differently and we don't judge.

I shared a little about behaviors I'll have to make amends for in the future... to people I've lied to or taken advantage of. The subject, though, was about the fourth step... doing a searching and fearless moral inventory. This is vital by itself and helps pave the way for the ninth step (making amends to those we've harmed). Now that step is going to have a huge list attached to it that I wont be able to share on these pages. Since I am nowhere near these steps, there wasn't alot I could say. But that's alright. Ultimately, the meeting left me feeling good. Called my sponsor afterward.

After that I made my way uptown to visit a friend who works at my bank. Talked to him about getting a card to help rebuild my credit. Then I closed at work.

Sorry if tonight's post isn't as insightful or poetic as others. I'm just exhausted. To pep things up, I think I'll attach a video from our June vacation. That beautiful gal, with the bird trying to eat her glasses, is Sarah. Goodnight, Cupcake.... wherever you are.
