Spent the morning at church finishing up a project. Hit the road and made it to the 12:00 Bikram Yoga Class with Mike instructing.
There was only one familar face in the 12:00 yoga class . . . not that I have ever talked to this guy but he seems to be a regular at the noon class.
My mind wandered during class to a friend who is celebrating his 365 days of being clean and sober. I met him when he joined some of my running group and we have run several times together. You know there are those people that you meet and you feel like you have known them all of your life . . . but you actually know very little about them. I wish my friend luck and will continue to ask those questions, are you still going to your meetings, are you working the steps. There are some people you know that are a total screw-up and then there are the people that can make a difference in the world. I believe if Brice can stay clean and sober he is one that can make a difference in the world.
I was scanning back and remembering the evening I knew I had taken my last drink. It was June 1981. I am not saying I am an alcoholic or anything else for that matter. All I know is I had the same patterns of my father. There were some things in my life that I am not proud of some by my choice and some not by my choice. I won my last guzzling contest with a screwdriver and put the glass down and never drank again.
