Hi Peeps. Andy here. 1/27/20 is when I decided to change. Nothing special, in patent, isolation in 3/4 house for vets while 9 month IOP....now inching out of my shell. Yippee! Bowling, gym, new flat to live, new town. Still learning (grateful for the Set Aside prayer). I feel it's time to meet and grow more. I am protective of my sobriety and trust life has my back on this journey. I started ready to fight for it and mean it. Ha! I used to say to new acquaintances in the veteran programs "Don't f*** with my soberiety!" and I meant it. What, with vets O.D.ing in rehab next to me, and falling out O.D.ing in IOP and dying in the rooms next to me I felt I had to make a stand. Now I'm more comfortable with my sobriety, at ease in my new skin. Feel freedom and my gut feelings are respected. My senses love me and respect is given. Maybe, just maybe I might grow another inch today. Feedback is welcome. Enjoy the day folks
