¡ i will have fun in my recovery !
posted: Fri, Feb 10, 2012 06:45:21 AM

 

although walks along the beach, watching the dolphins frolic in the surf, will probably not be part of that fun today. with my nod to the cheese factor in, i am totally floored that i missed on of the items that are part of my fun agenda, last night. i forgot that it was book club night, when i quickly scheduled a meeting with my sponse, and it was not until i got home, that i realized i had double-booked myself.
the book really did suck, in my opinion and i REALLY did need to sit down and talk with my sponse, also in my opinion. allowing myself the freedom to forgo one event for another, is something that recovery has taught me to do. although the meeting with my sponse, was not nearly as fun as the book club meeting would have been, i felt better afterwards, and because some of my sh!t is out from between my ears, i might actually get some time to have some fun over the next few days, or perhaps better put i will make some time.
this is one of those readings, getting back on track, where there is nothing in the party line, that i can find disagreeable or unpalatable. i mean seriously, who could be against having fun. yes, i am a pretty serious and one might even say, uptight kind of guy. i do take life far too seriously, far too much of the time, so a reminder to loosen up a bit and kick back, is not a bad thing. i think that i can and will look for the opportunity to do just that, at least in the here and now. the rest of the world can take of itself, as i let myself be cared for the POWER that fuels my recovery, just for today.
