Make yourself a mixed CD. One that really speaks to your heart. Fill it up with songs that give you hope (don't put any of that sad self wallowing shit on there! NO EMO!) from artists who can you can relate to. i.e. Beth Hart is a recovering addict and alcoholic and she sings an amazing song you should listen to if your in recovery, its called At The Bottom (watch the video below)Anyway take your mixed CD with you everywhere and sing really really loud with it, let it fill you. Its one of the only reasons I stayed sober for that first thirty days.......

I Know The Heart Of Life Is Good.
My complications with God, inside my head are fading away. Yesterday, New Years Eve morning, I spent nearly five hours investigating certain parts of the Bible. I am not a follower as of now, but in sobriety I am beginning to understand how so much of my fear comes from the unknown. I fear things I don't understand or that I have not educated myself on yet.
I believe in Good and Love and God, and if that's all for now, that's good enough.
God Loves me, He gave me this new life.

So Good Morning! Its 2009!
I made it though my first sober New Years.
It was so neat to "party hop" without being afraid to get pulled over and arrested.
This is the first New Years Day I woke up without a hangover (yeah that JUST hit me). Pure True uninhibited sobriety is the cake of my life, today and hopefully tomorrow.
Last night, I went to a "regular" party. For those of you who are in recovery, you know what that means...there was ALCOHOL there. You know whats so cool, brothers and sisters, I did not think twice about picking up a drink. Its so beautiful, the grace that brought me here. To be sober, have a good time and not think about drinking alcohol. Its neat to be at a party and get to know the other people who are at the party, and also recognize that they don't drink like I used to. Its also very cool to be consistently reminded that I am an alcoholic, because once I found out and did something about it I started living the life I have always wanted. And surprisingly, it doesn't have a thing to do with money or things.
A very very happy 2009
I hope its as special to you as it is to me.
I am sending my love......
