Three Months. Happy?
Posted 02-22-2009 at 12:01 PM by Chordaroys
Been a while since I wrote here. In the beginning it was a very raw and hurt human who exclaimed to the word their pain and need for sobriety. The words in this blog where there to reinforce my commitment to that sobriety. It was very helpful at the beginning. Putting my hand up and saying that's it no more drinking and advertising it to the world was pandering to my ego and competitive self. I was challenging myself to keep off the drink. I've done that and I am only just starting to feel balanced and happier.
In my last blog I think I wrote that I felt empty. It was so. But now I'm a lot more energised and happy. What is happiness? Well it is not hanging out at the pub getting drunk while my family sits at home watching TV and wondering when I'll be home. No, happiness is within us all. It is sitting in our soul waiting to be invited to our party. The party within. It has of course always been there. I've seen it show up before only to be asked to leave while I showered myself with alcohol and other substances waiting for the risks to pile up along with the mistakes and the remorse.
So I'm going to look at the happiness within and examine that place a lot more closely. World I'll share that research with you soon.
Love to one and all. Keep smiling.
