Hey there, strangers; it’s been a while. Fifteen days ago I wrote my last post, and
during this two-week break I’ve been a busy boy. Aside from working 50 hours
per week, I like to walk my dog, eat at new restaurants, go to Twins games and workout
six of seven days. Really it all sounds normal to the average Joe, but it’s all
still kind of new to me.
I plan on taking another long break between this post and
the next because I need it. I need to spend a little more time living life and
developing more material to write about. For example, this post really won’t be
too significant because I had no idea of a direction when I opened up my
laptop. I did play Words With Friends between the first and second paragraphs
looking for some inspiration, but FA, AA, LOFTY, and RELIEVERS are not exactly
the Tony Robbins of the blogging world. Now I have to find something to do
between this and the next paragraph…
Well, I looked at Facebook and I discovered that most of my
friends still hate Trump, police are finally shooting unarmed white people too,
and accidental panoramic shots are hilarious. I’ve been trying to stay off of
the mighty FB for a couple weeks now because really nothing good comes from it.
I used to check my phone all the time to see if anybody liked (or loved!)
anything I had posted recently, or anybody had anything constructive or
meaningful to say about a blog post or political issue or science, but after a
while I found myself constantly going to my phone for reassurance and it just
wasn’t doing my life any good. From now on I will only post blog material and
things that I think are hilarious, and I won’t even care if people like (or
love!) them.
I would love to write something inspirational or related to
recovery but I just don’t have it in me today. Maybe when I come back in two
weeks, I will have something more substantial to write about. For now, all you
need to know is that my life is going well, and my recovery from addiction and
alcoholism is progressing each day into this new life that keeps me so busy I
no longer have time to just watch Netflix and chill.
Actually, I think that is what I am going to do with the
rest of my night. I will be back in a while with an update. Until then…
