Rehab Day 10 - tiring
I was so tired, that I slept through getting my 5:45 pm meds! Yikes!
Leaving in 5 minutes for AA, need the coffee, obviously!
No cravings, but what happens when I go home?!
I'll have to have structure to my days.
I need to take my cane, to walk to the meeting, darn herniated 2 discs.
My daughter is on the way to Boston to compete in a jazz music competition, hope she does well, I haven't seen her, or my son Peter, or my wife Libby, since April 19.
My daughter Anna looked at me, then, and asked me to get better "or I don't want to see you again"...my son hugged me, told me he loved me, and said he hoped and prayed I would get better...slightly different send-offs, wouldn't you say?

Coffee was the first thing I gravitated to drink
at first when I got sober as I also saw many in
at meetings did too.....However, too much coffee
isnt good just like anything else. Too much of
anything isnt good. This is where BALANCE will
come into play and you will learn balance as time
goes on in everything you do.
You will hear how it's important to work on ur
alcoholism first because that is important and
if you dont stay sober for you or for urself then
you wont be good for anyone or anything else.
When I read the part of your daughter going to
Boston to audition for a Jazz compitition I smiled
because I have 2 talanted kids who were big with
music in school playing the Trombone and French
Horn. We saw them compete, win, go to State,
was the Drum Major in HS. My son went on to major
in music and finish in the New England Conservitory.
Im sooooo proud that both my kids turned out to be
normal talented adults with me being in recovery. They
were little bits when i went thru rehab, so with my program
in practice and a both their parents supportive of them
in all that they did and accomplished they excelled tramendously.
I loved my little family but I had to have recovery for me,
myself and I. The family will admire you and love you even
more as the trust is regained. And that will only happen
each day they see you sober.
I wanted my kids and I did anything I could to the best of my
ability to stay sober. Went to any lengths with the help and
guidance from the Man upstairs and with the fellowship, steps
and principle of our AA program of recovery.
