Lost my voice
I kinda feel like I lost my voice. Though temporarily I am sure.
I sit and write in my journal and I have fewer and fewer words to comfort me.
Anything I posted up to now seems so juvenal.
Guess I will just continue to sit tight. Sit still. Make the small changes that will lead me to what comes next even if I don't know what that is. That's the way it's supposed to work? Ain't it?
I learned growing up in the household I did to compartmentalize. Not to get my chocolate in my peanut butter so to speak. Or at least until I wanted to.
Feel good that today is my first sober day of the year. A measly 364 more in front of me, god willing.
All presenting opportunity.
Mine for the sober taking!

Guess this is a bit cryptic. I feel like I cannot find the right words. Ever since the night everything happened on dec9th.
Each day I have few things to say about it or anything for that matter. I guess that will pass.

Happy New Year, Ken!
It doesn't sound to me that you've lost your voice, neither your post is cryptic. For me it's more like your "emotions' and words' well" came a little bit dry because the last couple of weeks've been exhausting and you need some time to refill it and find new ways to get to new energy sources. I hope my little metaphor isn't too cryptic either)
Have a good day.

Talking is all very well but sometimes "actions speak a 1000 words" .
In the messy route of my life it has sometimes been better to just let a situation go and move on, whilst i was still living it .
Draw experience from it after a year or so later when my emotions have calmed down .
As for getting through today ? i like to buy new socks they just feel different to washed socks ..
i know it's early days yet and you've done so much Ken , i was still sleeping it off when i had the days you have ..
just stick to what you HAVE to DO and you will give yourself the gift of sober time in which all else will get resolved .
Bestwishes, M

Sounds like a good reflective day Ken. It is nice to be clear and able to sit still on New Years day.
Normally Id be one sick puppy right now. Im still sick today but at least not physically! Joking
Im grateful I dont 'need' a Bloody Mary to start my New Year hangover recovery plan too.
We dont have to worry about those 364 right now if we dont want to friend....

Thank you so much everyone.
Sober.... I saw les mis. I know it so well it made for rather boring watching. I left an hour into it.
Yes... This will be a big year for me. For anyone who puts down the drink and drugs it will be big.

I posted about a new ring I got. I guess I do have something to say.
Very gray day here but I am not sad. Having a very good day as a matter of fact. Off to go take a drive by the beach. Have not been down since the big storm.
