โ i can not forget that we have only a daily reprieve from our addiction. โ

holding onto this daily reprieve must be the top priority in the life of any recovering addict.
i am really having difficulty getting started writing this morning, the reading screams for me to comment, but every time i start writing something, i erase it and start over. so what does that mean to me?? well for one, it seems to imply that i really have nothing to say about the siren’s song of romantic relationships and how they have affected my recovery. one thing for sure, is that i remained true to my priorities, i go to fewer meetings, go out and fellowship after meetings less, but i still have my service commitments, i still see my sponsees, i call my sponsor on a periodic basis (or not so periodic basis) and do an occasional question on my step work. but the thrill of romance and love has been exciting for me, and i have watched others drift out of the rooms on a cloud of love.
so i guess i am out of pithy comments and observations, i will just end with the little fact that i am grateful to be in recovery, and that i could spend some time with my sponsor last night. it is a GOOD day.
