taking responsibility

it's been one heckuva great day...and my lunch hour is not even over yet!

below is an abbreviated note I sent to my fellow recovering friends at Addicted Bloggers:

I need to be straight with each of you on a few things.
1.) EVERYTHING, down to the last letter, you’ve read from me has been true. It’s what I have NOT told you that is the subject of this email.
2.) I am NOT an official AA member. I have never been to a meeting and, as a result, I do not have a true sponsor. Going on 9.5 months now of sobriety.
There, I said it. ...

I am paraphrasing and not giving you the whole note. But I sent it this morning and have been overwhelmed by their supportive responses. I am very glad I took responsibility for my own actions and was honest. Now I can focus on my recovery with the knowledge my online friends have got my back.

I'm even having a good day at work...(he notes skeptically). I've been super busy and busting my butt and it's looking like it will ultimately pay off. A light at the end of the tunnel. Sweet justice!
