It’s 6 months today since I last had a drink. (And here I am below, poking my head out of the shadows to wave hi to you. Hi!) It was a day, a good day in spite of The Current Fraughtness Recently Discussed. I slept late, walked the dog, went to the new Coen Brothers movie, and browsed a wonderful all-poetry bookstore to buy a gift for my husband. In a bit I’ll head off to my neighborhood yoga studio for a special practice honoring the solstice, or as I like to call it, the day before the day things start getting lighter. I don’t know how I’ll feel tomorrow or even an hour from now, but at this moment I couldn’t say there’s anything missing from my life that I actually need. And also not too much more present than I can manage. Happy 6 to me, and happy whatever month or day or hour it is to you, too.
Off-Dry 
congratulations!!!
6 months! That’s huge! I’m so proud of you! Super proud x
Thanks, everyone! And Paul, it (Inside Lewyn Davis) is *wonderful.* It is up there in my top 2-3 Coen Bros. movies for sure.
Congratulations on six months and coming out of the shadows. You’re lovely. Sounds like you’re having a great day.
Waving hi back to you!
Coen movie is on my list, can’t wait.
The new J Phoenix is too, the one where he falls in love with his phone, She?
Very happy for the 6 months, though sorry to read the day before. Wine won’t help. Been there. Face it sober, remember it all. Embrace it all. You will be so grateful that you did.
Love, and congrats!, Christy
