It's been a bad week for me and I am even more worried about the week to come. I have acted out on the internet a few times this week, most recently yesterday. I am worried about the upcoming week because Beth is going to be in Chicago Saturday through Monday and I am going to be in Orlando from Monday through Thursday. So I won't see Beth for 6 days.
As I said, this week has been hard.
What's the trigger?
Is it part of that H-A-L-T acronym (Hungry Angry Lonely Tired)?
No, I don't think so. For me this week it has been stress and anxiety. Worrying about getting work done, worrying about sobriety (ironically), worrying about money. It has also been a little bit of the reward justification. As I have gotten big projects completed of "rewarded" myself at the end of the day. After all, I "deserved" it.
I think I am going to add to the H.A.L.T. acronym. I am going to add three new letters for Anxious, Stressed, and Pained.
So the new acronym is A.S.P.H.A.L.T.
A-nxious
S-tressed
P-ained
H-ungry
A-ngry
L-onely
T-ired
Fellow Blueshirts, as we walk together towards recovery, lets remember to stay on the path and to stay off the A.S.P.H.A.L.T.

Here's to staying on God's green grass rather than the asphalt, which we know can burn us everytime.
I appreciated your blog. Let's connect a couple times this week.
I think we are meeting next Monday, the 3rd of November.
