One year ago tomorrow (2012 was a leap year), I met Sandy
for dinner. It was my first day day of
recovery after an 8 month crack spree.
It was the most profound meal I ever had. I realized during our discussion that
relationships were the most important thing in my life. Then and even now, it seems that I was a slow
learner to figure out what a healthy child would hopefully now. Nonetheless, better late than never.
This last year has been the best year for relationships in
my life. I made a few new close friends. More nearly what happened is the ones I have are
far closer than ever before in my life.
My relapse was caused in great part by lies of omission, i.e., not
telling others what I was thinking or feeling.
While not perfect at sharing, I am fantastically better than how I used
to be.
There was one more relapse in March. I have 8 months of continuous sobriety
today. Yay me!
I am very grateful for better relationships and my 8 months
of sobriety. That is a lot of progress
from how it used to be.
