Sometimes life is a drag........
I was the discussion leader tonight at the meeting. I spoke about where I was with the program. And, at the time, I was really bored with sobriety. I was tired of attending meetings every night. I felt like I was stagnant in my recovery. I talked to my sponsor about it earlier today, and he suggested that I try different meetings. A lot of people gave me good feedback.
Now that I am back in the dating scene, I sometimes feel like I am damaged goods. At the clubhouse they had a dance for “young people in AA.” It was so much fun. It was amazing to see this amount of young people sober. I can only imagine what my life would be like if I got sober at a young age. They seemed to be having fun and enjoying themselves. Some of them were awfully cute too.
I have been really pushing the dating thing lately. I am on a mission to find someone to settle down with. However, I need to turn it over to my higher power. He is the only one that will put someone in my life. And, he will do it on his terms. I need to sit back and enjoy life and the right guy will find me.
I saw two of my friends at the dance. They were in drag. They looked so funny. They had the perfect attitude about it. They were really enjoying themselves. We went out to eat afterwards and had an incredible time. I haven’t laughed so hard in a very long time. I really enjoyed myself.
So, who is to say you can’t have fun in sobriety.
