So... if I had an audience of readers, I would apologize for being away for a couple of weeks, but, since I don't, who cares?
Over the past three weeks I have had a cold, a headache from trying to go cold turkey on coffee, and a brief relapse with alcohol. I had nearly twenty months sober and lost my way. I sometimes have to remind myself that it's not the end of the world, that I didn't just throw away twenty months of hard work and self-improvement. As long as I use the relapse as a means of strengthening my sobriety, then nothing was lost.
I attended the Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple last night for guided meditation, and found it quite... nice? That's such a useless word. I found it relaxing. I found it satisfying. I found it another important step in rebuilding the scaffolding around my sobriety. This is a work in progress, though it's not a project that will ever be complete.
May we be happy. May we be safe. May we be peaceful.
