Four Months Today
 
I forgot about the date until I looked at the calendar.

Today marks four months of sobriety.

I am in a bad mood today. Don't know why. Nobody knows it is four months. There is a lot of family stuff going on. Maybe it's to do with the wedding invitation to my brother's wedding that I got in the mail today. It's a whitish/cream coloured card with almost a goldy sheen and a black border around the left side which develops into a tree at the top. Anyway, it's simple and tasteful and very elegantly done. So I was trying to get this across to my mother on the phone and she goes: "god...black and white sounds like a funeral card. They will make a show of us!"..I guess this is one of those situations where all I can do is laugh...

I start my internship on Monday so that is a positive step.

Ah, I don't know. Is life meant to be so hard?

"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal" - Albert Camus.

I'm going to retire to my room with candles, herbal tea and my book until I get my mood up a bit.

Great sharing, Congratulations!!!!
Sounds to me you are living life on life's terms = AWESOME!!

Very inspirational!!!

I read a story of a missionary(George Lacy) back around turn of the century who lost 5 children to scarlet fever. He wrote a letter to the church stating... sometimes it is more than he and his wife can bear. He pushed on and continued to help others.....

I suppose if someone can demonstrate this much strength I can make it today as well!! :)

Kind Regards,

Tetra - Awesome job on four months!

Hang in there sweetie, things will get better!! Tomorrow is a NEW day. Look at the bright side, you're sober. If you were drinking things would most likely be worse.

KEEP GOING!!! You can do this! Good luck on the internship!!
