- Crazy Week - Tuesday, March 28, 2006 Ok, so I haven't really updated like I've been wanting to (or telling myself to) but it's just been such a crazy past few days. First, someone from my past (like waaaay past, 10+ years ago) and I came in contact, through email. It was the craziest thing ever, not only because I wasn't expecting it, but well, because I wasn't expecting it. Considering the circumstances, a pleasant conversation took place, just awkward. After explaining this situation to a very good friend of mine, getting a "guys" point of view, he told me to steer clear of the situation at all costs. After filling in most of the details and giving him a brief history, he told me his take on it. Basically it goes something like this... You're a recovering alcoholic. You been sober now for at least 8 years and though the road to recovery hasn't been an easy one all the time, it's been worth it. Look how far you've come! When you go home, look around you. Did you see any of that 10 years ago? If you did, that dream you had became reality! Kel, all it takes is that one drink for you to relapse. That one drink will bring to the surface so many different feelings and emotions, some good, some bad. Do you really think your body can handle that? Think about it. I thought about it. I gave in and took that drink, so to speak. That drink of course sparked some curiousity, which led me to take another. I think I'm able to break away from that poison again, answering a couple of questions, but not coming out ahead nor behind. In a way, I'm glad I answered that email. My friend's advice was good and I will take it into consideration. Oh, just for the record, this isn't anything illegal, immoral or irresponsible. It's just strickly an email. (I know how our minds like to wander sometimes!)
