30 days, alcohol & pills.
Changes I’ve noticed.
I don’t wake up shaking any more.
My memory is a lot better.
I’m thinking more clearly.
I enjoy the little things again.
I’m testing my blood sugar (diabetes) 4 times a day, instead of 10 to 20.
I’m getting more things done.

Fifth meeting. I ended up sharing the life approach that Chaz wrote about in Winning at Loser’s Games.
I seek to win Loser’s Games by simply not showing up.
-Chaz
Quotes from tonight were as follows…

I had a hard time during my recovery when family members accused me of drinking, [...]

I went to my fourth meeting Sunday night. On the way there I told the friend that I go with, “It’s been a week now and I’ve missed a total of 3 days. Missing one day, I’m fine. Two days in a row though, feels like too long. Not that I start craving a drink [...]

National Geographic: Meth
Jules and I visited the library today. I got a few books and found a documentary called, “World’s Most Dangerous Drug” about Meth in the United States. While it covers the ins and outs of the drug, the movie also weaves the story of a couple (Michael & Janelle) into it that is just sad. [...]

Three meetings in five days. This time it was a N.A. meeting, which includes drugs and alcohol. Since I was also on prescribed drugs, it makes more sense for me to attend those, though both types of meetings have been great. Unlike my A.A. meetings, I actually shared at this one. My words rushed and [...]

I about lost it while watching a rerun of Penn & Teller’s: Bullshit!, Obseity episode, tonight.
And to quote the show,
“Man, even their acronym is fat.“
Oh and before you think this is an attack on obese people, maybe you should hear their take on the subject…

I went to my second meeting tonight and dammit to hell if I’m not on the brink of crying each time. A guy, tattooed to the neck, rough all around, spoke like some sort of vagabondic vangelist. To be surprised like that really changes how you look at people. It’s like being blindsided on some [...]

I went to my first AA meeting tonight. It wasn’t court ordered or anything, I guess I was just curious and wanted to add more action to the changes I’ve made.
After going, I really got how true the narrator’s voice in Fight Club was. The honesty, the listening, the therapeutic affects of sharing in groups [...]

Forced Esteem
I came across an old e-mail from a girl friend of mine and sent her the following message.
So I did a search for “puppies” in my email to find photos of my mom’s new dogs and I came across this email (with photos) from you.
Just thought I’d let you know, you’re beautiful. Don’t let anyone [...]

You’ve Got to be Twittin’ Me
Is it that late and I just lost it or is this really that funny?
Patient says, “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” Doctor says, “Then don’t do that. Just kidding. You have lymphatic cancer.”

The One Who Spun
I was reading about Philip K. Dick and his writings tonight and came across one of his quotes.
“I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards.“
In many of [...]

Missed Freethrows
Two missed free throws, ordinarily the cause of a coach’s headache, became the symbol of sportsmanship in a Milwaukee boys’ basketball game earlier this month.
Milwaukee Madison senior Johntell Franklin, who lost his mother, Carlitha, to cancer on Saturday, Feb. 7, decided he wanted to play in that night’s game against DeKalb (Ill.) High School after [...]

New Beginnings
I’m almost two months into my new job and I couldn’t care less if I get fired. Yes, I want it, but I’ve gotten more than I originally imagined. Those who know me, know I’m more about people than I am about anything else.
Over the past 6 weeks, I have made friendships and see potential [...]

TV Observation
I just have to say, out of frustration from watching too much TV, that sexuality is in the face.
So many women out there have wonderful (or decent) bodies that are ruined with empty eyes and generic smiles. There are far more attractive bodies out there than there are those that can level you with a [...]
