Sick

I am not feeling well, however, I did get out today.  I have been housebound for 6 days.  I can remember when that would have made me crazy, but the last 6 days have passed in a pleasant routine.  Then I got up this morning and the driveway was clear, the sun was shining brightly and I felt like hell.  My head is stuffed up, and my ears are ringing.  When I get this kind of cold I begin to feel that everything is not quite real.  I did go and get weighed and I have finally lost 30 lbs.  It took a long time, since September, but it was a good feeling.  I attended a 15 year A.A. birthday tonight and that was uplifting.  I did not feel up to driving so a good friend came and picked me up.  When I look back over the past almost 3 years, I realize how far I have come.  And I appreciate the new people in my life.  I have friends again.  Tonight I am sleeping in someone elses home, but I will sleep well and easy, as I know this is one of my safe places.
Tonight I am grateful for friends and lessons I have learned in the past 3 years and everything that I have gained from an experience that seemed to come from hell.
