First Step

My sponsor asked me to write out my entire history of alcohol from first drink to present. It only ended up being four typed pages, but it was not pleasant. No, no, not at all, no.

Meeting with her tonight to go over it. Yep. Yeah. Don't even know what think or say.

I did a lot of writing too when I was recovering. I'm not an AA person, but I found the journalling to be very helpful. There is something about putting the words on paper that, on the one hand makes them so much more profound and real, and on the other hand, allows the healing to begin.

That's a great exercise to go through. It can be very eye-opening.

I think it is a great idea. I am just now starting to work with my sponsor. WE had our first get to know more about "me" chat this week and are going to start meeting weekly. I expect that to be coming soon to a theatre near me!
