I have nothing exciting to report. My life is pretty boring these days and that's a good thing. I made it to a different SA meeting than the one I have been going to. That's about the limit of excitement in my life . I'm still working on step one. Things are going well with my recovery, but I still have plenty of struggles. Oh yea, at the new meeting the format was to introduce yourself with your mo's as well as some other basic info. It was awkward stating the ways I act out to the group. I was glad that we did that though and I think it's important. First of all, honesty has been key to my recovery, Second of all it helps me to hear other people's mo's to know that I'm not unique. There are other people struggling with the same and even more difficult issues than I am and some of them have a lot of recovery. It helps me to see that it is possible to recover. Which kind of brings me to the issue of the 90 day chart. First of all, the chart was one of the tools that helped me get out of a helpless abyss. Second of all, to see that other people have made it helped me to believe that I can make it. I do appreciate the people that explained the limitations of the benefits of the chart, but I'm glad I started the chart before I heard them. I still have the character defect that makes me have to explain why I update the chart. I hope one day to just be able to do what works for me without having to worry about pleasing other people. And in the interest of honest, I only wrote this post to bump
my thread up .
