"Find something."

That's what I was told when I was in addiction counseling and people started sharing about what or who they wanted to get sober for. I had no one and no interest, goal, motivating factor that seemed more compelling that partying. Which had long ceased to be a party for me and was just a dismal effort to numb myself from reality.

I've now been clean and sober for many, many years . . . and I've had some "things" that really mattered . . . and then they all were swept away . . . so now I'm working on my relationship with the word that signifies a power greater than ourselves and can't be mentioned on this site and my inner being.

Keep searching, Jennie. Keep reaching out. It's all there is.
