Addiction

Get your own countUP at BlingyBlob.comI have jalmost two years clean and sober!!!!. However, every single day is what I focus on, because those could disappear instantly were I to forget what is truly precious - the clean and sober moment I am given right now. I am a recovering alcoholic and addict - my drugs of choics were alcohol, sleeping pills, sedatives, pain pills, muscle relaxers, and finally crack. I used pot as well a few times. THANK GOD I do not ever have to live that way again. As a wise woman told me, "Now you know what you never have to do again. If you do that again, if you ever live that way again, you are choosing to do so." I have a choice today - to give what I can't control (my addictions, everything and everyone outside of myself) to my Higher Power - let Him deal with it, I can't, He can, I think I will let Him!!
I also struggle with shopping and eating addictions, as well as pretty much anything else I come into contact with (INTERNET!!). It is a continual process of coming across new stuff to deal with, or rather, realize I CAN'T deal with and let My Higher Power deal with it.

I am a strong, independent woman!! I am learning to say that more and more and like it! I love life, and I love learning to live. I am a mother, social worker, daughter, sister, friend, Christian, and woman. I am kind, compassionate, smart, and I can be very intuitive. I can also be stubborn, fearful, selfish, and lazy. Thank my God, I am becoming more of the former these days and less of the latter but I have plenty of work still to do!!

Sobriety!!!!
Pizza, Italian, Mexican
Coffee!!
Rainbows, unicorns, dragons
Life!!!
I like candles, quiet, lakes, and nature
I like college football games and watching figure skating
I love Dancing With the Stars and The Office! (I also like General Hospital!!)

I am not much of a meat eater, only like meatloaf, sometimes chicken, cheesburgers, pork chops -
I don't like horror movies much anymore, especially gory ones
Not really into country music, rap, or R&B much, though I will listen to anything for a little while
Can't stand shallow people, judgmental people, people-pleasers - I have been all of those at some point I am sure, and I don't want to ever again!
I really don't get into the crime dramas on tv, nor do I like news shows much and can't stand reality tv except "Intervention" which I can't get on my tv (no cable! hey - I am in recovery, at least I have obtained a televsion, cable may come some day! Priorities have changed here!)

I like Christian pop, 80's (my era), some 90's and some present pop

Stephen King, V.C. Andrews, the Left Behind series, Harry Potter
I really love to read, but haven't gotten back into it much since in sobriety, fiction-wise. I do read a lot of nonfiction recovery books, though.

I enjoy Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, the original Star Trek, most fantasy movies, superhero movies, some science fiction, romantic comedies (most), I really like suspense movies alot but not gory horror!!!

Reading, writing, singing, spending time on the computer, I like video games, too, I love theatre and would like to be in plays
I collect rainbows, unicorns, and dragons
