I’m still fuzzy on the details. I remember getting up the next morning and talking to my sponsor and talking to my dad. I remember dad saying to find the right car and between the two of us we’d fiind a way to get it financed. I remember heading back to the dealership where I [...]
So why shouldn’t I juggle too? I’ve been juggling already. Figuring out how to live sober has been really, really tricky. I don’t even think that, on balance, I’m very good at it. I’ve complained about the big chunks of my life that really aren’t working, that I struggle with, that I’m apparently unwilling to [...]
it started to snow.
Snow!
I’m not freaking kidding. And not just a little snow, either. The forecast was for a little rain. A 40% chance of rain. And we got snow.
It was the earliest snowfall ever recorded here, beating the previous record by two days and 1/2 an inch, and while it has melted off the [...]
I was going to pay my rent early, because I could, sort of. I have the money, but not the cash. And I intended to get up early this morning and go to the bank before I went to work today, but that didn’t happen either.

The first tool they “lay at our feet†in DA is tracking; carefully recording all income and expenditures. It is pretty easy to track total abstainance, but in a program for something you absolutely have to use, tracking becomes very important.
I had some money in my pocket since I got paid for a little side [...]
You may have noticed a link at the bottom of my sidebar for Me Not Meth -a project of the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. I’m giving them an extra plug here because they bribed me with a groovy t-shirt.

I wanted to share this article with you. It’s among the best written and most comprehensive I’ve ever read. During my first battle with crystal meth addiction I lived in Long Beach, CA. Even then, back in ‘92, Long Beach had a bigger crystal meth problem than anywhere I had ever been, [...]
But to my credit I did go to the clinic yesterday and get some antibiotics. I don’t know the medical term but my sinuses and lungs have been carefully coated with rubber cement. I wish I could say that I’m adjusting well but I’m kind of struggling. I’ve been faking it well. [...]
