Day 31

Day 31. Can't believe it. But I have to since it's true.

I'm feeling better today. The last couple of days I was a little out of balance. But I'm starting to feel back to normal. A good night's sleep really helped.

I just sat here and thought: "31 days, that's the longest a month can get." That in itself wasn't a life-changing insight. But what it lead up to is. I thought: "It's time that I start moving on. In my sober life. And build the life I want."

Until now, recovery was on my mind a lot. And it still is, but like with anything you do a lot, it has become a bit of a habit. Which frees up time and energy for other things.

So that's the next step. Finding out what I need to do and then do it.

One word: Netflix and/or the streaming service from my tv provider and/or listening and/or learning to count. That last one suddenly seems very important.

It was a good day. A lazy day. I needed that. After this, I need to get moving again.

I'm wondering how long I'll be here. Even a mild hint of tough love that I've been using is frowned upon. I realize that I have a thick skin and that other might find it offensive what I say. A minute amount of tough love, minute as I see it, is apparently not ok.

Which is fine. It's the rules. The question is, do I want to hold back when I know some good, hard words are what they need? I am inclined to say no.

I'll see. I may or may not stay.

So that's the news of the day.

Mike I understand your thinking ahead (and aloud) but just so you know the correct medium for discussing this site, its rules or my moderation practices is PMs.

I've sent you a PM with my response.

thanks
