Ever the twentysomething...

As of twenty minutes ago, I have officially been sober for half a year. 183 days. I don't really know what to think of that though. I am no where near as depressed as I had been previously. So I suppose I've managed to finally do something constructive with my life. At least it feels like I'm finally taking care of myself

congrats again on being sober. it's difficult stuff, i know, and i am ever-impressed, and well, sobered by your self-control.

i'm glad to hear that the urgent sense of guilt has diminished. you and i both know quite well what that kind of guilt is like. no fun at all,very unhealthy, and often quite counterproductive. any word on where you'll be doing your doctoral work? i know you were looking at a lot of the same schools i am interested in. it would be pretty crazy if we ended up in school together again.

future is tough stuff. i am worrying a bit about it too right now, as you can imagine (or rather, don't have to). when staring into the void, just remember the words of the most over-quoted philosopher ever, the ever-popular Friedrich Nietzsche:

"He hath heart who knoweth fear, but vanquisheth it; who seeth the abyss, but with pride. He who seeth the abyss, but with eagle's eyes,--he who with eagle's talons graspeth the abyss: he hath courage."

grab the void and make it your bitch.
