Good job Fantail, I know the feeling associated with that bass as well, reminds me of being totally overwhelmed, crawling out of my skin or about to pass out.
I laid low on Halloween. A friend I hadn't seen in years was in town. She invited me to visit with her at the house where she was staying with a friend.
I was expecting to arrive at a raucous Halloween party, but instead it was just her and her friend watching the World Series and drinking water! They offered me a fizzy water and I spent two hours genuinely enjoying catching up and not thinking about drinking. It was pretty amazing.
I went to the climbing gym with a new friend tonight and had a great time. It seems like I'm starting to feel like a human again
Happy sober November all!
