After several attempts to resurrect my old blog, sobernotsomber, I have conceded defeat and started over with a semi-new name. Being unable to continue with the old blog is a consequence of my own inaction. This is no ones fault but my own. I have searched diligently for someone else to blame but remain unsuccessful in this endeavor. That just makes it worse. Sigh.... Let us pause for a moment of self-pity and pouting.
Outside it is snowing and blowing to beat the band (that means a lot).
I'm sitting here, enjoying a cup of coffee, listening to the wind
rearrange the landscape, having nowhere to go and no place to be and
incredibly grateful to be in a toasty warm house. This probably means that the pouting and self-pity time is over. I find it difficult to be full of self-pity and gratitude at the same time.
Whether you are a new reader or have followed me here I welcome you to join me in meandering along as I wander through this journey of sobriety. First of all, I am in recovery and will do my best to honor anonymity. All 12-step programs will be referred to as ?A. (Originally, I considered calling the programs X-A but that reminded me of algebra, a subject I prefer to leave in my past.)
The previous paragraphs have taken almost an hour to write. Obviously I am out of practice. Since my HP (Higher Power) has indicated it is His will is for me to write a blog, I'm sure I'll get better with practice. A take on "...do the footwork and leave the outcome up to God..." with which I am very familiar. He leads me to lots of things I am in no way capable of doing but when I balk, He sends in my hard nosed sponsor who reminds me that I have turned my thoughts, words and actions over to His care. Then she tells me to get busy doing His will.
Oh! One more thing - I will write about experiences and situations encountered in my quest for recovery. If, when you read a post, you think I am writing about you it is because I am.
