Hi!

I have people who read my blog (I just noticed comments from a couple new people). That is so neat. Hi! I started this as a way to write out some feelings and to sort-of work things out in my head, and also to share some stuff with my friends who are not in recovery in any way (as I have struggled from the beginning with trying to explain things so my old friends - not in recovery - can understand.) I have kind-of used this blog as a place to just vent, and I have often felt weird for putting some of this out there (and a little uncomfortable). In fact, I thought about deleting it recently. But, since it seems ok, I will keep it up and also keep adding to it sometimes.

Christmas was a bit tough. Holidays can be rough. I went to several meetings (almost one every day) over the last week, though, and had some really great conversations with others in recovery, and that has really helped. It is amazing how sharing and talking with others can make you feel so much better. I really am amazed at how the program can work.
