So I’m out im at a restaurant. I walk in and when I do there is a woman across the room who is familiar to me. I’ve seen her in Recovery rooms. I sit down at my table with out really verbally saying anything to her. She is in my mind I know she is there. I eat my meal, I’m journaling about what I’m powerless over & what is unmanageable in my life.. a short while later she walks up to me She says Hi and calls me by a name I don’t use much anymore, I look at her wanting to respond and call her out.. I hold my tongue, and She says “what meetings are you going to?”
I barely say “I go”
She responds to me with, “ I don’t really go anymore either” and proceeds to walk off.. Before coming to eat I was at a meeting.. I don’t owe her anything.. I owe myself my recovery ❤️🩹
But learning to live sober is hard sometimes these feelings and emotions are hard. I am glad I’m here and pray for the strength to walk a new life💝
