I love this blog entry title! It is me, mired in guilt as I look back on the complete wreckage of my recovery recently. I have reacquired way too many “friends” and although I adore them all, I must take the proverbial hiatus.
My plan that came through the vibrating, foggy mist of a party weekend shakes out as follows. I am taking a sexual sabbatical for the summer. My fictional life goes away. (Wait..if it’s fictional already?) Besides if my story arc doesn’t have the drama of our hero heading out on a quest towards sexual sobriety, what meaning does this waystation on the web have?
So unless I get an e-mail from Tatum Reed, the fascinating Pop Whore hereself, that she is sitting at the end of my block and wants to party, I am Audi 500 from this life, sorry, fictional life, for the summer.
Think of the wit of entries on cleaning the cat box, starting to paint our new/old house, whether or not my ad agency makes budget in June!!!! I’m getting really excited!
The truth of early recovery when you’ve slipped is…it’s disheartening, excruciatingly dull and slow and makes your eyes roll back in your head with an admixture of boredom and hope. Part of me thinks recovery just sucks. Always has, always will. It’s like daily pulling on the emergency brake while you humble and humiliate yourself in front of a higher power who lays aside his/her/its bong, emerges from his/her/its pansexual orgy, looks down (or up) and smirks at you, mumbling in some long lost archaic tongue, “what a dumbass…just live, dopey.”
But that’s just me on day one…ODAAT. Peace to us all.
