Settling In

Well it has been the first full week back to work. People are asking how it is and I can only use one word to describe what I am feeling --- COMFORTABLE.

I am missing Nova Scotia charms and the people I have met but life in Regina is beginning to take on some routine and I am grateful for that. I am going to my old meetings and re-engaging with the people that helped me through many tough times in the past. At work, the folks are wonderful and the "pace and pressure" can be considered normal compared to my work addicted life in NS. But I do miss the "rush" of building things.

This past week and old friend and previous Boss and his wife came to see "A" and I. It was a very nice surprise. Mike and Beth haven't changed and are wonderful folks. Mike was one of the best bosses and mentors I ever had. He took me through a very tough period in my past and he was one of those guys who was tough but very fair. I think we worked well together in Alberta. I thanked him for all that he did for me on Friday night! That was nice and felt good.

Well I am off to my Sunday meeting. My friend Chloe is rubbing her nose on my hands and keyboard trying to remind me that sobriety is the number one issue in my life.
