Hi Jojay
Being in recovery doesn't make me Superman...or Gandhi

I still get annoyed I get frustrated, I still get scared and I fly off the handle still even tho these days it's mainly at myself.

I can still hold a grudge and I'm still angry at things that happened 40 years ago.

I'm doing my best to work on all that...but for now my job is to never let those feelings own me for too long...cos that could take me back to drinking drugging and God knows what else if I let it.

I'm not 5 or 15 anymore.

I'm 50 and I try and remember the great and truly bounteousb lessings of my life now.

They're more real to me that the phantoms of the past

Exercise is good for distraction for me, so is playing music. Sometimes being around good friends helps too.
