Today is a Good Day
In light of the recent passing of our fellow swarmer, Magicchex, and well, the manner of his passing, I thought I would share today with you meeps.
I've done this before but feel it is super-relevant this year.
The past five years I've been sober have blown by for the most part.
This last year has been gnarly.
A good friend of mine, after almost 5 years sober, decided to drink and shoot up again. Brandy is dead.
A close co-worker of mine, took some methadone and never woke up. Sharon is dead.
I am meeping stoked on my life and am living a/the dream right now, not working, just going to school and being crazy-successful at it.
All while 'suffering' from a chronic, progressive, deadly illness, and if I had to pick a deadly disease to suffer from, It would certainly be alcoholism/addiction.
I mean, what other chronic illness can be instantly put into remission by just doing a few simple things(the most important of which is not drinking/using)?
My only dilemma today is deciding if I'd like to be an attorney or get my Ph.D because I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Well done Mate. Keep going the way you are. Get your PhD, the world has more than enough lawyers.

if you do die, make sure its from being eaten by a huge mutant shark whilst surfing a 50ft hurricane swell, that would be cooler than choking on your own vomit, but only just.
