I’ve been looking for a new service position — something where I can put my assets to good use — and what do you know, one just fell right into my lap. I’m kind of buzzing about it. The first committee meeting is in a few weeks and I can’t wait to jump in and offer my help.

Lately, every damn reading and meeting topic seems to be about Step 4. I’m taking that as a sign. Praying for my Higher Power to point me toward the lessons I need to learn right now…and maybe highlight a few character defects I should be focusing on. It’s a long list, so yeah, a little guidance would be nice.

Today I finally made it into the office and it felt so good. I’ve been stuck working from home since last Thursday — too many midday appointments — and it’s been making me restless, crawling out of my skin. Such a crazy flip from a year ago, when I kept myself so isolated, almost afraid to leave the house.

Now I actually want to get out there. I want to be around people, to socialize, to do things. Tonight at the meeting I had this flashback — almost a déjà vu — to a time long ago when I felt this same way. Recovery hasn’t just changed my habits; it’s brought back parts of me I thought were gone for good.
