So yesterday as day 1 of my new "project" of changing my life, outlook, friends, and attitude was a success I think. I reached out to multiple friends to talk and got wonderful reception and responses back. I tried to make it to a meeting but Anthony ended up coming over and we hung out instead, listening to new music and we even had arts and crafts time (laugh all you want) where he cut up a bunch of stuff out of magazines and glued the clippings to the cover of my journal. Yesterday I also officially began writing on Step 1 again. My original, intent was to start small and just write on the first 5 questions in the Step Working Guide but I ended up doing 8 because once I started writing it was like the floodgates were opened and stuff just came pouring out of me. I JUST started and I already feel like I purged a bunch of baggage and weight that I;ve been carrying around on my back.
So today we're definitely going to continue this trend because it feels great.
So far, I've texted all my people (Angela, Shaun, Kimmy, Brenda) and I even already found a ride to a meeting tonight at 5:30 with Angela.
This new shift I've made in self-care and in reassessing my priorities and focus is feeling really good and I know I'm doing the right thing through all these efforts. I was tired of sitting in my apartment alone with nothing to do (but not taking initiative to find something to do either), not talking to anyone, chain-smoking, and sleeping all the time because it was better than the alternative of being awake and lonely and bored.
So I'mma keep on keepin' on :-]
