Phew, it is good to get back after a long time. Hope you are all well.
Life has been a tad hectic, lots going on. I got very involved in the annual recovery day for my fellowship. And my Mum has had some health problems (still ongoing) which will mean she may have to go into residential care. I have had a lot of pain from a trapped nerve in my shoulder too.
But said recovery day now over and a good and encouraging day was had by all. I always suffer after these events. It is almost as though I transfer my emotional energy to all the other addicts, like they were my family and then when we all have to go our separate ways I mourn. I want to stay in that atmosphere of support and love forever. That and a tiring early start and a long day meant that I found myself feeling pretty down on the train on the way back. Everyone I could have rung was travelling back and it seemed silly to ring people I had just said goodbye to.
I'm pretty sure my equilibrium will return when I have had a good nights sleep so I am not really taking a lot of the thoughts I am having seriously. It's better that way.
It was good to see old friends and to make some more, put faces to voices heard only on the phone and get enthused again. Not to mention all the hugs I got. Can't wait till next year!
