Hey D-Licious!
Welcome to the real world! Just kidding. I can relate. I've been sober awhile (11 years) and currently my life is extremely busy and complicated. I work a full time job (teaching)up to to nine hours a day, have two small children at home (Sheila - 2 1/2 and Liam almost 4 months), am working on my doctorate, must hit the gym to control my asthma and diabetes, and must hit meetings to control my alcoholism.
I've found that online stuff can help, but is really not as good as F2F. I've found a great 6 am meeting that I can hit 3-4 times a week and that helps. I have also devised a schedule that structures every bit of my time throughout the week. It feels weird scheduling time for my kids, but it gives me a direction and some feeling of manageability. It also helps to know that ultimately God is in charge. if I don't meet my schedule - big deal. At least I'm trying. And my life is moving forward... a doctorate? Are you kidding me? Never in my wildest dreams... Sober is better... God is good!!
