A really great day…

I’m just posting a small entry…The X-Files call…

Had a great day today. I just returned from a commitment in Poughkeepsie with Wayne and Joe, 2 friends from AA. We spoke at a transition housing unit connected to the Hudson Valley Psychiatric Center. Some really low bottoms in there, but all of the residents were eager and friendly and polite. I think some will make it, at least I hope so. I left with the same good feeling about my own sobriety. I am doing OK today, and it’s all because I am sober and able to show up for life. What a relief this is all turning out to be. I can make it through crises big and small and not drink or check out in any way. I’ll write more about this later, but now it’s time for more Mulder and Scully.

Johnnyboy is a queer recovering alcoholic. For the moment he is also the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from age-related cognitive impairment. She is happy as a lark and is surrounded by a crew of sober women which gives him the freedom he needs to get out of town. When he is not at home in Somewheresville, he is searching out the proper path to travel for happiness and joy. He is a photographer who believes in the digital age, but feels that film is still where its at. He has a darkroom and works in it. He is single and is in remarkably great physical condition for all the damage he has submitted his body to. His cardiologist is very happy. Johnnyboy is over the age of 35.
