November Again

It's been a while since I've posted something new here. I could say I've been busy and that could be true. I suppose one excuse is as good as the next. I find myself saying that to people I sponsor when they decide they want to go back out and do some research into the hypothesis that maybe they aren't really alcoholics. They often start their spiel with something in code red as we call it. They say things like, that guy really pissed me off, or it's really hard to find a parking spot around here I don't know why I come to this meeting anyway. And that's when I say one excuse is as good as the next. Give me a call when you get out of detox. I'll still be here.

I spoke today at a meeting downtown. Friend of mine had asked me to do that a  while ago and I have learned that when someone in the fellowship asks me to do something and I am able to do it, then my answer is almost always yes. I think it went well. I might even have been able to help someone get through another day and at the end of the day that's really all that matters.

This will be my daily writing. I'm supposed to write something each day and although this is not a well-crafted haiku or a gripping piece of short fiction, it is writing. Right. So I write.
