When I drink and smoke weed, I am terrible about opening my snail mail!
After 6.5 months of using, I am sober 15 days and trying to put my extra sober hours and energy to good use, so I am going through piles of old mail.
I found a check that someone sent to me in November and something I assumed I'd thrown out.
I've been burned in the past (unopen jury duty summons!) yet I continue to let it happen.
One day at a time I can remain sober and process my mail!

I had piles of unopened mail. I just couldn’t “deal” with it. In step 1 of the 12 steps, that would be the part where it says “and our lives had become unmanageable”. As good as I was (or thought I was) at hiding my secret, the signs of unmanageability were all over the place. The mail is a perfect example. Congrats on your new found sobriety :tada::tada:

Thanks for pointing out that mail is an example of unmanageability! I never made that connection.
