The beginning, I suppose.

I'm not good with these. I've had countless journals over the years and I never know how to start. So I guess I'll just write a little about myself.

I am a 22 year old alcoholic and I made this blog so I can write about my recovery. I plan to remain anonymous because there are certain things I'll write about that I'd prefer to not follow me around in real life. I have been sober since November 14, 2011. That's only 42 days but it's the longest I've been sober in over 2 years. I love my sobriety and I never want to return to the life I led before. In 2 years of drinking I got 2 dwis, totaled my car, and got sent to rehab. I think in my short drinking career I used up a whole lifetime of alcohol and I got to a point where I was just tired of it and ready to be done. In the short time I've had sober, I have done a lot of changing. And I hope to meet others and continue to grow.

I work in a deli and am in college working on a bachelor's in business. I have a wonderful family and boyfriend who support my sobriety. I am blessed in many ways.

My blog name and title reference one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost. I love poetry and reading in general. I am very creative and love painting, photography, and all kinds of music. This is probably long enough for now so I'll try to post something tomorrow. Writing is a huge passion of mine but I've never been good at keeping up with any sort of daily journal.
