Sick Day
Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days. I have been sick with strep throat and every time I think it’s going away it pounces on me again.
Saturday was the Peaceful Serenity picnic and I was really looking forward to going to that as it was going to be the first "larger" N.A. event that I would have attended. I’ve been to a couple of local functions that my home group and a couple of other home groups have hosted and that has been fun, but I heard that this was going to be big and a ton of fun.
I was upset that I missed it because it seems that no matter how well I plan on doing something or how long in advance I prepare for an occasion something always seems to happen to screw it up. Either I get sick, or someone in my immediate family gets sick, or something breaks that is costly to fix or replace and any money I had set aside dedicated to something ends up being used towards some "emergency".
The up side of that is that at least I always have something to show for my money besides a cloud of smoke and if me or anyone in my family is sick it’s not because we are dope sick. I owe the ability to be able to see an upside to being sick or not getting my way to N.A. In days gone by being sick or not getting my way were great excuses to get high.
Now I don’t look for excuses to justify as reasons to get high. I just take things as they come and live in the moment one day at a time.
