Hey all

Good morning! Super sober Saturday.

I got to my AA meeting which was a really good one and about helping others. It helped me as I find some people in AA are very much people who throw the book and ideas at new people and say AA is the only way. I find this very uncomfortable, it's an interpretation that doesn't sit well with me and can come across as cult like. I think people should find their own path, with ALL the information and support available. I got some much softer perspectives from others today which was useful. I think I am doing just fine helping others and working my programme in my way.

Now I am having my Starbucks then away to the airport.

Determined I agree, sober energy is phenomenal. You can also recover so much more quickly from a tough week. Yesterday I was drained. Seven hours refreshing sleep and I feel great. How we used to drink to to oblivion forget the week just doesn't make sense to me now. It was making everything worse.
