Today is a better day. Yesterday was good, too. Today has been filled with racing thoughts, that if not accompanied by last week's reckless negativity or the week prior's depression I would readily (and perhaps happily) dismiss as ADD.

As I continue to crest toward the end of a period of self-induced craziness, I'm not sure whta to say. My words, my actions, continue to yield trouble which seems to increase exponentially when I am not mindful of either ( Read more... )

Barring the typographic blunders which persist and their accompanying verbal gaffes, I generally like the way my communicating has changed. A lot of those issues are due to constant code switching, poor editing, and tiredness. This week has offered a chance to reduce the negative impacts of the last. The other two simply require more concerted ( Read more... )

Today has been an exercise in Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable.I'm not sure how I feel about mixing this writing with my life in sobriety, but right now, I'm having a hard time making any distinctions.

an uncharacteristically characteristic entry

Today has been a great Monday. I've walked approximately 18 miles or so in the past week, and have been eating noticeably more fruits and vegetables lately. I feel good, again ( Read more... )

Something brings me here, a force I can't quite explain. I feel as if I've already adequately expressed my concerns in this journal today. Also, I had a very good therapy session, in which a theme emerged, a theme I hope to work on between now and my next session: assertiveness ( Read more... )
