Daily Reprieve

The term “5000lb phone” is recovery slang for the difficulty that alcoholics and addicts have in reaching out, particularly when the mental obsession to drink or use takes hold.  That is why we collect numbers and practice calling others in the program prior to that critical point.  The more normal it feels to call each other, the more likely this can be apart of relapse prevention.  I created a document of individuals I wanted to make a habit of contacting in addition to my sponsor.  So I guess you understand why I would have to password protect it.  Maybe I should just make it private.

Anyway, I am exhausted.  And I really don’t have much else to say tonight.  Good night.
