Life Is Good
It's been a very uneventful past few days. Just going to meetings, except for last night cuz I fell asleep, and trying to keep the Drunken Midgets in line. They spent yesterday cleaning up their room and helped me get the rest of the house picked up. They are getting really sick of each other and fighting more than usual. They kept waking me up last night with their arguing and I thought I was going to have to tie them up and lock them in the trunk of my car.
I found an awesome women's meeting on Tuesday nights. It was amazing and the women there were so kind and welcoming. Plus, it was a small group, which I liked. I picked up the book The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions and have been reading that. I finished both the Narcotics Anonymous book and the Alcoholics Anonymous book last week. And I'm also reading Happy Hours, which is about women alcoholics. It's an okay book, but not the best. Next I move on to Drinking: A Love Story, which looks very good. I figure if I immerse myself in recovery materials it will make it much easier to stay sober.
Tonight I have a meeting at Pax Christi, which is a pretty big group, but it's a good one. The girls are getting tired of me going to meetings every day, but if I don't put my recovery first I'll lose everything else anyway.
Other than that, not much going on. Just school and meetings, school and meetings. Not the most exciting life, but it's better than sitting around using all day for sure. I'm much happier now that I've found some good meetings and have a group of people that actually understands where I've been. I've always felt like an outsider, like I didn't belong anywhere, and now I have a group of people who know exactly what that is like, and I don't feel so defective anymore.
Well, I'm off to watch Angel.
Laters!
P.S. Much love to all my friends and blog buddies who have offered their support during this time. I'm so lucky to have all of you! Kisses to you all!

Congrats on choosing recovery - I'm sorry I've missed so much the last few weeks. I think you're taking a great step.
