birthday

A Year in the Life

39 Years ago, today, I was born at 1:45am

Last year I spent my birthday in a drug rehabilitation center on Long Island.  It was the first time I had been clean & sober, on my birthday, I believe in 5 years.  Turth be told, sober is also a state of mind; I was not a sober state of mind.  That being said, I relapsed a few weeks after coming home from rehab.  My clean & sober date is October 24, 2010; making today 11 months. 

So, what’s to come in this year, on my way to the BIG 4-0?  Well, if I keep doing the next right healthy thing I believe all will be well.  I hope start training to become a CASAC at the beginning of next year.  I am still on my 40 lbs by 40 yo challenge (lost 5 lbs already).  One thing I really need to work on is reconnecting with friend and family.  There’s plenty more, like finding a boyfriend, maybe part-time work while I am in school, volunteering, etc etc.  Maybe the boyfriend thing will just happen when i least expect it (I don’t want to stress about it).  Everything else… I will have to work for while trying to not take it all on at once.  

I have a feeling this year is going to be great!
