Thinking

Last week, a friend said that I "overthink." I was a little miffed, but I knew they were right. (They under-think, but whatever.)

As you may know, I am in a twelve step program to better cope with...life, I guess. Anyway, I am reading the Big Book from A.A. with my sponsor. Everywhere the book says "drinking," we replace it with "thinking."

Tonight, I was thinking. I lost my emotional sobriety, big time. It was like I was on a bender in my brain. I ended up going to a meeting where I could be with other people who are not trying to think, too. It worked. I felt like a beginner, like I was starting over. In my life, I am starting over, brand new, square one; hence, the thinking.
