This is not how to it, at least by my experience.

Man have I been negligent in my writing this week. While everyone was coming off their coke/crystal/alcohol/ecstasy slash whatever ever combo post-pride crash, I was crashing in my own way.

Eight days off of Lithium…….

Fucking with anti-depressants is one sure fire way to fuck with my head, and fucked it was. So I didn’t feel like writing. In fact yesterday after two days of constant anxiety I didn’t want to do anything. My strategy to deal with this predicament was to do the exact opposite of what I wanted to do. I listened to my voicemail, returned calls, and went off to a meeting.

A few things did happen this week.

How could I let the week go by and not mention July the 4th? Not because of the Americans as they are a mere side note for this special day. July 4th marked Hildy’s 1 year birthday. My little girl has grown up to about two and a half pounds.

To mark the event, I attended a newly made friend’s one-year medallion at NA. If anyone out there who still drinks or gets high doesn’t think this is a monument us moment, just try making a year without a drink. It’s not as easy as you think, even if drugs and alcohol are not an issue for you.

Even more momentous than my friend’s medallion is the fact that I got laid. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, “I got laid.” More importantly since it’s been so long that I can’t even remember the last time, it was just nice to lie there and connected with this guy.

All I can say is, thank god I did a pube trim job the other week. Well you know, when it’s been a long time you kind of let these things go thinking, “Nobody’s getting there anyway why bother.” The next thing you know you could be mistaken as a woman from southern Italy.

I guess I new something was going to be in the cards at some point, or perhaps a case of plain wishful thinking. Anyhow, it worked. It turns that adage “Build it and they will come” into “Trim it, and thy shall be going down.”

If anything, I do go to the YMCA, and we do have to share the showers, I do have some pride.
