That was quick, huh? It's been over 4 months now (on the 2nd). It hasn't gotten any easier, or any better. My life consists of 1)Consequences, and 2)distractions. I avoid consequences. I try to pay the bills. I buy food. I feed myself and the animals. I fill the gaps with distractions. I play computer games, I read. Nothing really has any meaning or purpose.
This coming Tuesday would have been her 10 year sobriety date. She had a jail-style tattoo of a rose on her shoulder, that she always said looked like "an upside down butt". She doesn't remember getting it done. With all her many tattoos, she was waiting until her 10-year sobriety date to get that one covered or removed. There's a whole wonderful story around her sobriety, that maybe I'll be up to sharing one day. Not today though.
