Made it to the end of my trip: 5 hours driving (and listening to some good audiobooks 
- probably my fave part of driving actually). Tomorrow Iām attending a conference with a good friend. I like these kind of meaningful events. I find them fulfilling. They take prep for sure and they take time but man it feels nice.
Then back into the rhythm of life when Iām done here. Iām learning to dance that: project / event, process / rhythm. We have one time things in life but the growth, the learning, the evolution: thatās a process. So I need to be just as aware of the processes in my life as I am of the projects.
@Alycia totally get it about the social hunger. For me I had to re-examine my whole sense of āhow to hang around other humans and what that looks likeā when I started my sober journey. What I have now feels fulfilling and it is the result of social experiments Iāve been doing, who I feel comfortable with and where. Keep experimenting and be gentle and forgiving with yourself, and youāll find spaces that feed your desire to connect.
@michaeljlogan74 Ouchie about that dog running off and you scraping your leg. Iāve had family members pull muscles and twist joints in similar situations. It hurts! Good on you for the snacking and the soul music. Both of those feed the soul. They also are safe and legal - and thatās a sober trick: youāre allowed to do anything thatās safe and legal, to maintain your sobriety. Itās that simple. Keep it up brother, one day at a time
@Tomek welcome to the ADD club! Come on in, itās a good place to be. Youāve got a race car brain thatās living in a non-race-car world, which is a weird experience; but now that you are aware, you can choose your spaces and your interactions to help you be your full, unique, strong self.

Take care everyone. You belong and you matter
