Lucky 13

   Well it happened as I thought it might. After a year sober I haven’t noticed that another month went by. Four days ago. This doesn’t mean I’m not aware of my sobriety. Actually the opposite. Abstaining from alcohol opened the door to my sober mind. I feel clear and refreshed in my thoughts and emotions. To me the clean in clean and sober (since I don’t use drugs) means a clean mind. Not polluting myself with anger, envy,ect. I meditate on cravings (of all kinds) and the suffering they bring. I give thanks everyday for the path I’m on. I want all who are struggling with addiction to know this freedom. Bests

Thanks everyone. It’s been one heck of a year. It’s a bit scary to know that it could have gone the other way. @jstsng, I plan on working on myself until my final day here on this perfect planet.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
