I too enjoyed my alone time and
even more so after I got sober and
was in recovery. For me, I'd make
my noon meeting which I knew I
had to make and needed to make
to remain anchored in my recovery
and sobriety. Once I got that out of
the way, I felt better, stronger,
responsible, humbled, grateful and
could proceed to preparing for day
by myself.
There would be a trip to the grocery
store for fun things to eat. A nice
treat for me, myself and I.
Another trip to Walmart or wherever,
to get some things to pamper myself.
I love candles, good music, movies,
comfy things to wear, an inviting
bed to dream on and snuggle down
in safe, sound and off my feet, not
driving intoxicated going up the wrong
way on the interstate, or racing someone,
going home with who knows who.
I enjoy my peace, solitude walking
on a park track, enjoying the trees,
seeing little ones play, hearing laughter,
giggles, shade, benches to rest a bit,
water with ducks, birds, butterflies,
all of natures bounty to admire.
Being in recovery gives me so much
to be grateful for and if it means being
by myself, i'll enjoy that even more.
No one to cause ruffles in my feathers,
disturb the Force around me. Cause me
stress, anxiety. Recovery is FREEDOM.
And I LUV It...!!!!
