So it has been quite some time since I have taken the time to post on here and the main reason for that is I have been in treatment for alcoholism. I have been here for almost 7 months now. Why you may ask not just go back to the rooms of A.A. well because I knew that this time I really needed something more. This program is based on the 12 steps and A.A. but I needed the intense program to get my life back on track. Life is worth so much more to me then throwing it away on drugs and alcohol. I am building a new life for myself now in Los Angeles with new friends and reconnecting with a few friends here that I met years ago. Life is meant to be full of joy, laughter, peace, compassion, feeling, and most of all we are meant to be present for life. That's what I get to do now is be present for LIFE!!!! I have some many blessings to be grateful for, my health, my sobriety, my family and friends, an amazing sponsor and support group and most of all I have a Higher Power that loves me no matter what. I could not ask for anything more.
Right now I am in the middle of job search trying to find a sober job something to just get me started on my new life here. I had one interview yesterday that went really well which lead to a second interview tomorrow at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. I am super excited about it. I came home from my interview to be surprised by my sponsor who was celebrating his birthday that he was taking me to Disneyland for the rest of the day. It was such a gift and so much fun. I was honored to spend his birthday with him. He is such a blessing in my life, he challenges me to do the things I would normally just avoid but because of it I am seeing real growth and change in my life. All I can say is its all because Life is worth so very much more!!!
So my advice is simply this: "Be present in the here and now because this now is the most important now there is."
