and everyone else, after you read this, post on how your life is going.
OK. So, I'm starting classes this semester--it'll be at a tech school, which kinda sucks, but if I do summer session I can probably get into a 4 year school for transfer by the fall, then get a degree in about 1.5years or so.
I'm moving! I found a different apartment..smaller, older, but in a better neighborhood, so I'll be closer to fun stuff to do.
I have friends! Well..a couple. But they keep me entertained, and they're making an effort to help me get out more so I can meet people. Its really a good thing.
Some days really suck. I mean--they really, really suck. But I feel better now, even off medication. And I feel older, somehow--more mature, maybe--so that makes everything easier to deal with. Its like..things happen, but they dont freak me out as much. Maybe its just adjusting to being "different".
I'm trying to lose weight/get fit. Its a process, that for sure, but just starting it is making me feel more in-control of my existence, which is always a good thing. Also, I'm hoping that as my life gets better, food in general won't be such an issue for me..I'll find other avenues for fulfillment.
And I'm writing again! I actually let my friends read my writing, which is a definite change from the past. My problem is actually finishing the short stories I start. I'm going to have to do that.
OK..now everyone else out there...update us all on how you're doing in these first few days of 2006.
Thanks for reading!

Cool idea.
I'm 17 days without a drink. I've been going to a day aftercare program that I had discontinued in august. I'm still unemployed, but my old boss made some overtures to my wife while she was shopping at the store a few weeks before Christmas. I don't know what that means exactly because the store was too busy for the holidays for her to see me. I think maybe she is able to offer me a position - why else would she want me to come in? I won't be crushed if I guessed wrong. I swear I won't be crushed!
Got a wife, two cats, a condo, a car, more money in my retirement accounts than my on my credit cards, plants, records, books. Life is great. I'll finish getting stable, work on recovery and start bringing in a small amount of income in the near future.
regaining hope as a process,
James K
