I know what you mean about being still- and that's kind of what I was writing about- I think I get so attached to the thinking that I forget to be quiet and see.

Hibernation is OK, but isolating isn't. My grandmother was agoraphobic and so I have to extra watch it just in case. But I am a firm believer in taking time alone if you need it.

I hear you on how hard it is to try to keep connected. Like you, I spend a lot of time lost in my head, and I think it might be good for me to do more of this recovery stuff in the flesh and not just online, though I'm not sure how to go about that, and I'm ever grateful for online connection and don't mean to diss that at all. All that is to say, let me know what you do sort out on this! Re your two jobs: yes, you can do it. You're tough, and it's only for a few months, and you've done hard things before. I'll cheer you on from the sidelines!!! I think as we get further from the drinking, it's less of a temptation to be around drinking and more a reminder that it's a world we don't want to be in anymore. I'd find the wine smelling hard, though, as it all smells awful to me, now. Lovely to hear from you. Big love to you, brave and connected! xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136268241054850544.post-16373694864774462012015-01-09T23:01:48.435-05:002015-01-09T23:01:48.435-05:00I'm so glad you posted.

I'm making a promise to comment more on others' blogs (I'm far too lazy to blog myself). I love the sober community you and others have built on your sites. <br /><br />I decided today what my word for 2015 will be and it is "still." As I enter my second year of sobriety, I strive to be quiet, listen, pause, sit (up tall, now I will remember that too) and centered. I've never done a word of the year, but this feels right. <br /><br />Good luck with your busy schedule and I do hope your health improves.

And to make a decision to meet myself as I am today and not some other version of myself... I like this too. Thank you!

I do that too...isolate myself when I struggle with life. I am working my way back out of it too since the New Year. I went 9 days without even leaving my house and probably would have stayed there if I didn't have work starting back up. I love your resolution to sit up straight and be brave. People are too busy being worried about they say and do, to be able to focus anything else. We all have flaws and just want people to accept us as we are. *hugs*Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598872022680734297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136268241054850544.post-70649223902368011612015-01-09T12:30:41.410-05:002015-01-09T12:30:41.410-05:00I'm so glad you're back out here!!!
