This is my first posting. Its exciting and a bit scary, but here I go.
I would like to say I'm just diving in but the truth is my agent urged me
to "start a blog" months ago.
Now that I'm over the first hump I plan on posting at least twice a week.
Hope you will join me.
Playing with Anxiety

I started my recovery blog in December 2007. I was a little over 6 years sober. What spurred me on was that some months earlier my son had published his first book: he was (and always has been so far...) 5 months and 10 days more sober than I was when that happened.
ReplyDeleteAfter I finished reading his book (it was a VERY dark autobiography of his short but painful life as a fledgling and then recoverying drug addict, but it was well written and full of truth. I told him how proud I was of his accomplishment and told him how jealous I was of his being an author. That Christmas he gave me a beautiful leather bound Journal and told me it was for "my" book.
It took me two years before I began writing in that book (just recently, in fact) --- but I started my recovery blog that very day. It's been a huge addition to my recovery work.
I have no doubt that it will be the same for you. Take care!
