...and go to a meeting first thing in the morning as soon as you wake up. It does WONDERS for your frame of mind and thought process and ability to see the day for what it is: another chance of possibilities and opportunities to do something with yourself. I woke up this morning right on time (7 minutes before my alarm was set to go off in fact), did my morning routine, got dressed, and headed out for the bus stop to catch the bus down to the 3M Club for a meeting at 9:30 that's, quite simply, called "Sunday Morning Meeting." I got there a couple minutes late (fucking bus *SMH*) but I got there nonetheless, and I was pleasantly surprised. The meeting had a good turn out, I recognized some familiar faces that I hadn't seen in while, I got to share and vent some of the steam I've accumulated over the past week so I got to participate in my recovery, and then I got to shut up for an hour and listen to others talk and speak about their lives and experiences, which reminded me that, despite what I think/believe...I am NOT the center of the universe, and shit does not revolve around me and my will. There are other people here too, each of us trying to do the best we can with what we've got, and it's always humbling to go to a meeting and to hear others talk and for me to just shut up for once and open myself up to different experiences and different lives from people.
After the meeting, I headed home, stopped off at Walgreen's and did some essentials shopping, which turned out to be a little expensive because I got what my mom calls "Shiny Thing Syndrome" and ended up "needing" a fuck ton of toiletries and what not. And now I'm home.
Mom's coming by afterwards when she's done having lunch with a friend, but other than that, quiet, peaceful, serene, drama-free Sunday. And I like it. :-]
