For all the excitement I felt as I approached my first anniversary, it's calm in the aftermath. It doesn't feel like a let down either. I woke up yesterday with a feeling of relief I had made it to one year, then I got to work on the now.
I'm struggling to focus at work. I think it is because I'm understaffed right now, but procrastination is a big factor this week. I really need to make my step eight list and get on with it. I've stalled a bit again. I've already got the people on my fourth step list. I just need to pull those people into a list and then talk to my sponsor.
I was worried that a throat coat tea I made last night had sweetener in it. I'm fighting a little sniffle/potential sore throat. One of the ingredients is "Organic Sweet Orange peel." The tea tastes quite sweet. I looked up the company and product and couldn't find any additional info. I emailed customer service and got a reply within the hour. There are no additives or sweeteners; the "sweet" peel is to differentiate it from the "bitter" peel used in some of their other teas. I don't know if I would have followed through to an answer if I hadn't discussed it with an OA. I'm still being careful. One sign of craving or more intense irrationality towards sweets and I'll throw what I have in the garbage.
I feel the need to wrap up this post in some way, but I've got nothing.
