Day 23.
Rather tired, so I'll save a real update for tomorrow. I'm half into a book that's really given me a new perspective. It's called Buck, I highly recommend it; it's not about addiction, but it is about over coming obstacles:
Survive and fear won't envelop you! Survive and the next day the horizon appears just as you thought you were breathing your last breath. I know something about life and death. I can't embrace life the way many people do but I know how to survive.
So it's no surprise when company disappears and the phone calls stop. On chance meetings at a store or the street, they examine me intensely, looking for "damage". I smile inside. The "damage" you are looking for has always been there. What you are seeing now is "survival"
