This is an account of my journey, detailing the moments of a life free from nicotine and alcohol. I've found it helpful to document the ideas and events along the way to always remember where I came from and where I am heading. This will help me stay in the present moment and free from active addiction. I also hope that this blog can be used to inspire and benefit those who are also seeking refuge from their addictions.

Day #4...don't die with your music inside you
I had my friend's uncle talk to me about music and pursuing it tonight at the wedding dress rehearsal, and here you are talking about it and saying I need to dive right in, what am I waiting for!! I've also been watching and reading a lot of Wayne Dyer stuff and he says over and over "do not die with your music still inside of you".
I know that's figurative, but for me it truly is music....I will delve into my music. I will stay busy and do those things that are important to me. You are right. I agree with me having too much time on my hands to focus on all the rush of emotions that comes out the gate. I know that this rush is happening, I know it's part of the process and then I use it as an excuse to feel sorry for myself and in the end I usually relapse. Not usually....every time I end up in relapse.
I have to do things differently and get active in my smoke-free life and not wallow in all the shit that comes rushing in. I focus too much on those things that get me to relapse, and then guess what....I relapse.
