We, addicts, should all remeber how quickly we can be back out there.

a women from my NA area died on thursday. i wasn't super close to her, but we used to talk a bit. Its just so shocking. she used to be extremely involved in NA, and very serious about her recovery. but for an unknown reason she went back out there and wasnt lucky enough to come back. i asume she died of a drug over dose, but i only got a vauge answer and i think its rude to ask.

im going to stop by at her veiwing tomorrow. i just know how upset everyone will be, i dont expect many dry eyes there.

it is so easy to forget how quickly everything we have worked for in recovery can disapier. i know that if i dont activly work on my recovery it could be me next. when your an addict, recovery is a life-or-death situation. this deffinetly sent shock waves to a bunch of us how possible it is to end up dead.

my weekend is decent so far. i was suposed to see a friend, that i havnt in a while, but he ended up being sick so now i really dont have much to do.

steve is here for the weekend.

my birthday is tomorrow and i really havnt planned much. me, steve, my family, and 2 friends are going to dinner. i was going to go kyaking, but im really not feeling well enought to do that. i want to do something special with my friends, but i have no ideas.

its almost depressing how unspecial birthdays get as you get older. i still remeber being a little kid and counting down for months. being so excited, and have cool sleep over parties. now i dont even remeber half the time, and it just seems like another day. i wish i could have that childhood excitment again. it seems like its so much harder to be saticfied now a days.

im still trying to figure out blogger. when i used to have a xanga there were blogrings (groups) for people of common interest or topic to join. is there something like that for blogger?
