A brief thought from someone else


"For me, who always ran, always quit, always blew things up or burned them down, the change was to stay put, keep going, set a length of time to see things through. For me the change was to NOT change anything for a while. To live in the same place, the same job, the same skin, for a year or so and see what that was like. And what it was like, by the way, was hard."

Ah, to change. So far I've changed a lot this month, or this sobriety, and most of it was external change. How not to change anything? Wow, I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to stay put for long. Once this newness of AA has worn off, will I want to change again? Will I want to do something different?
