Interesting yesterday at support group I got to support R and try to encourage him. I remember being new in sobriety and overwhelmed with living in my wreckage, sober. I am proud of him. The therapist reminded me of Al Anon, and I am hoping to ask a friend how much Al Anon recovery he has because think he'd make a good sponsor. He is gay so the difference in gender should not be much of an issue. At least someone to get me started on Al Anon steps. I come to work and it is a little overwhelming at times. I just realized I forgot to sort of turn it over to God today. It does make a big difference. I am not in control. I am kind of sad the MA convention is fast approaching. My temp job check didn't come in in case that would matter in my going. It is late. I don't know if I am going. I have a hard time turning down and also taking opportunities. Indecisiveness is one of my weaknesses. I realize to I am an abandoner. I start with issues and friends and meetings and I disappear. It made more sense when I realized this, how when I leave without a goodbye, this is a symptom of this. Interesting awareness. So those are a couple of issues I need to work on. I did swim today which is exciting, to pick up a new exercise habit that helps me deal with stress, stay fit and enjoy life.
