Last week I mentioned how I’d chickened out on not joining in on a sobriety group. This week I messaged the group leader, told her I was on, waited for the text message giving me the Zoom ID to join, and … nothing.

This is the second time I’ve legit tried and been denied. It’s frustrating, but also hilarious.

Now I’m wondering if it’s worthwhile trying for next week, considering the week following I will be on vacation and attending a memorial service, not to mention seeing many old friends. I guess it’s worth a try.

Still haven’t made any decisions about in-patient treatment. I wish I’d started thinking more seriously about this a bit earlier in the year. It’s getting to the point where taking major time off would be inconvenient, work-wise.

The other thing that’s a bit of a concern currently is how much money I’m spending/want to spend on things that I don’t really need. It’s an urge that strikes once every quarter-to-six months, but considering I’m still digging myself out from under spending all my feelings in November, I really need to make sure I don’t overdo it now.

How is everyone else doing?
