 28 years ago today, I boarded a train to begin my journey to Wyoming to meet a girl I had met on the internet. What I was really heading for was my next relapse. It was actually the relapse that precipitated me arriving at the bottom that led to my current 28 years of sobriety. Sobriety that I achieved  with the help of my higher power and the fellowship of AA.

November is always a month of reflection for me, but even more so this year because the days of the week this year are on the same dates that they were in 1997.

My word from my god box today was Selfishness. As I mentioned in another blog post, it is okay to be a little selfish sometimes. For example, a friend of mine is feeling under the weather so she opted to stay in bed this morning. That's not really selfish. It's more self-care.
