To My Secular Friends
Now THAT is interesting! I think i see that...if i am thinking about philosophy or social psyc. or politics...it seems to help me to not get into drinking thoughts. I can even be applying concepts from those type of things to my life....wow.....not sure where that is going to, other than that i definately am one of those who thinks more than most are comfortable with....makes conversations dificult too

I run into more trouble with the large number of people who seem to do best by just doing things by route (is that the right word?) and don't do well if they have to look at any but the black and white. I have to remember though to focus on how important it is for ME to think things through and do all the thinking stuff and NOT focus on trying to get other people to see how complex things really are....when I focus on getting others to get my veiw...i end up feeling disconnected and frankly a drink starts to sound good.
So if i just remember to processs through things my own way and allow others to do it thier way without so much judgement, it really helps.
Sorta a rant there....
My day is going ok. I can't say I'm happy....but i feel just a little bit more centered. There are enough things going on in my life right now that i there would probably be something wrong with me if I didn't feel pretty uncomfortable right now! :ghug

I just don't have any motivation to do anything. I did more when I was smoking pot everyday than I've been doing this week. I've forced myself to do a few chores and today I went and took a food handlers card test cuz I had to, but other than that I haven't done anything. I haven't taken the dogs to the park all week either and they're bouncing off the walls. I haven't even felt like posting today, had to force myself to post this...

One of the tricks I've used for several problems is to focus on what I can/will do.
So, when I "can't eat" meaning something good...I focus on what would i be willing to eat (smoked oysters) and i eat that.
So when I "cant/wont" do the kitchen clean up or the trash...what will i do...call a freind, go out with the dogs, clean my glasses...anything.
Don't know if that will help, but you know it took me along time to get motivated...I'm sluffing off here right now instead of doing what "needs" to be done.
