Day 32

I hope everybody had great sober weekend. I know I did.

So, I went to a meeting on Fri with my sponsor, and I really enjoyed myself. It was a much larger and more diverse meeting. A couple of people that spoke were really funny and inspiring, so I guess you all were right about not every meeting being depressing. In Fact, I think that I will try to go to that meeting whenever I get the chance. I also collected my 30 day chip, which was pretty cool. Then we went out to lunch after the meeting and worked on Step 1. Which was nice, although I could tell people sitting next to us could hear what we were talking about, because they kept giving us these sidelong glances, but I didn't care. After that I went over to my girlfriend's house and we just relaxed.

Then on Sat we went to go see the new Narnia movie. It was really good by the way. I read all the books when I was a kid, and even though I don't remember what happened in them I know I enjoyed them quite a bit, and the movie kind of brought some of those memories back. Then we went out bowling that night with her sister and brother-in-law and their son and a couple of their friends. It was funny too, because every time I have ever gone bowling in the past I have always drank, the two went hand-in-hand. So it was nice to not do it this time, and even though her sisters friends were drinking I didn't feel any pressure to join them. Then on Sun, me and a few other soldiers I work with were voluntold to perform a flag ceremony for a local event in town. Not how I would have liked to spend my Sun but at least we got a free lunch out of it. Needless to say my weekend went by kind of fast, but at least I remember everything I did. Have a great sober day. Take Care.

"Voluntold." I'll be using that word, now that I've heard it.

The first step is very important. I've heard it's the only one we must do perfectly.

I hope you have a good Memorial Day weekend.
