Journal Entry for January 31, 2009 Mood
Saturday, January 31, 2009 | A General Update story

I must say that I have enjoyed this sight.  Some of the discussions are inspirational and some are sad but then again, that's life.  After almost two years drug and alcohol free I find it hard to remember how bad it was.  Not that I want to dwell on those past failures but I think I must at least remember throwing my guts up, curled up in a ball in the shower wishing I was dead or that I had a bag at my fingers.  I think success is just as hard as failures.  I was a mess for so many years that it felt comfortable to be a mess.  I thought that getting my act together would be peaches and cream.  I forgot that life s a roller coaster.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  It's all good.  I am taking on a new sponsee who I hope and pray I can help.  It is amazing how good I feel when I am helping others.  I almost feel guilty because I think I am getting more out of it than he is.  My selfishness creeps back in.  I am just grateful for the people out there that G-d has put in my life.  No coincidences.
