Hello everyone. I hope your day has been going well. It is 88 degrees F, humid, and cloudy here in southern NJ. We are supposed to get a heavy thunderstorm later. Fine with me! I'm not going anywhere.
Today was a good day here at the retreat. The clinical session was very interesting and helpful. The focus was on trauma and adaptation vs. authenticity. After lunch I had yoga and then an hour with my counselor. We had a good discussion. She said that I seem much more at peace and happier this time around. I also got some medical updates but I will write about them in another post.
I'm alone here at the house now because everyone else is at an alumni NA meeting here on campus. I don't have to go to them because I do Smart Recovery instead of AA/NA. At the moment I'm sitting outside on the back patio. It is freezing inside so I came out here to warm up.
No big plans for tonight. I have leftovers from last night's dinner so that is taken care of. I'll just hang, catch up on the news and InternetLand, and go to bed at my usual early time.
What's everyone else up to tonight?

I have that problem with Raynaud’s syndrome: it’s so cold inside after I drink something with ice in it that I have to run out into 90-degree heat to warm up!
Anyway, glad things are going well.

Glad it's been a good day. Won't be long and you'll be home again.




I’m glad to hear your counseling session went so well.
