Hey! That felt really good!

So I'm waiting for time to pass before I can go to work. I was feeling bored and restless and achy and inattentive and moody and thinking to myself "am I going to have to go have three cigarettes so I don't start craving a drink."

And I remembered that this morning I was reminiscing some fun times with an old, now-distant friend. I was thinking about how, with her, I used to dance. I am not by nature a dancer. I look more like someone who's caught on fire than someone trying to move to music.

Nonetheless, I figured, what the heck? I'm home alone. So I put on a song with a good beat and started to do my whole I'm on fire! Put the fire out!(tm) routine.

I feel like $1,000,000 now.

I'm grateful that it only took a small gesture of not taking myself too seriously to make my addiction-life problems go away temporarily.

Sounds like it can't hurt.
I've been known to put out a few fires myself.
Thanks for sharing!

LOL I dance around the house a lot.

Not too sure what the neighbors think, but who cares.

Isaiah..

That is so great!

You have stumbled onto a tool that a lot folks do not find until they have

a lot more time in sobriety.

Kudos!

And keep on dancing!
