Coming up on 13 years clean and sober in April. There is zero chance I will let three puds like Trump, Musk and Vance destroy my progress—but, man... do I get the impulse.
Just past two years sober and into my 7th decade. Spirituality has become a necessity. Not to avoid temptation to start drinking again, but to keep the dogs of despair away. Not only because of the election, but issues in life long avoided, and the all too real finish line approaching now at an ever increasing speed. Buddhism talks about horizontal time (the past, which you can’t change) and the future (which you can’t control), and vertical, which is acknowledging that you are always in the moment you’re in, and living in that moment. Not just day by day, but moment by moment. That helps me keep both sobriety and sanity. Good notes Ana Marie.
Appreciate the bravery in fighting and sharing. I have known many who fell in battle.
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for fighting.

I had a feeling. One day at a time.
Heh. Yeah. What can I say?
One day at a time, indeed.
