1. Explaining to older sibling how one became an alcoholic and got engaged to another alcoholic despite lessons long ago learned from growing up with an alcoholic.
2. Being broke due to gross mismanagement of finances. (Current net worth: -$42 not inclusive of unpaid debts. There is money on the way from freelance clients, though.)
3. Revealing said mismanagement to Mom.
4. Receiving praise from Mom for attempting to place budget-related data on a spreadsheet.
5. I'll just stop there, OK?
The positives, as gleaned primarily from tonight's meeting, are as follows:
1. I'm experiencing all this shit without self-medicating via drinking.
2. And I nevertheless still haven't had a drink.
3. I'm starting to show up in my own life again.
4. My emotions will help me figure out who I am, which is at the moment a pretty confusing question.
5. I didn't drink.
6. I didn't drink.
7. I didn't fucking drink.
