| I hope this will be true for me |
My name is Lori Ann and I am an alcoholic.
This blog is going to be my unofficial recovery journal.
Part of recovery is being honest.
Being honest might be harder for me than not drinking.
I think I have been a low level (and sometimes high level) liar most of my life.
I am the kind of liar that even lies to myself.
Even the word "honest" makes me uncomfortable.
You know what? I am going to push myself.
Every post will have at least ONE honest thought/confession/memory.
Something that I kind of cringe while writing.
Hmmm...where to begin??
Ugh...now I remember why I hate honesty.
So many bad memories and decisions are flooding into my mind right now and I just want to SHUT THEM OUT.
Maybe I need to start smaller.
For today, starting this blog has got to be good enough.
Today, I am starting this blog and I am not drinking.
I am not alone.
God is with me.
I just need to do the next right thing.
