Today is day 37 for me. I've recently become drawn to looking words up to find their true meaning. I'm hoping this practice will not only help me to live a sober life, but to try to find acceptance in my past and live at peace with the wreckage of my formal life.
Everyone of these definitions I find interesting and applicable to early sobriety.
I'd love to hear from both "newbies" (how are you finding acceptance?) and "oldtimers" (how did you find acceptance?).
Thanks!
