But since that became my new normal, so much more has come about because I was able to stop all of the lies that went along with all that.

And, once that became normal, I was able to start dealing with still other things I'd been avoiding. It's just a constant building process.

And, I'm slow! It took until this spring, for example, for me to really start focusing on my physical health consistently.

Folks can joke with me about all of my social media-ing about my working out, but that has been very hard earned self-care.

On Wednesday, I left work early to go to the gym before meeting a friend for dinner bc I'd not made it to the gym on Monday or Tuesday.

That is a sentence I would not ever in my life have written until this year. I did, however, often leave work early to get to happy hour.

Now, it's very different. You see me going to plays all the time. It's not that I'm rich. I've just not been buying drinks for 5+ years.

Seriously, do the math. I was drinking a lot on a lot of nights of the week, plus drinking wine at home on "cooking" nights. So much money.

@chrisgeidner I once read Kirstie Alley spends as much $$ per week on fresh flowers for her house as she did on cocaine before going sober.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
