dharma
as someone known to dissociate themselves from all major holidays i was uncharacteristically optimistic about 2012. from almost as soon as i stopped drinking i begin imagining a new year and its notional fresh start. i had long planned to enter into 2012 quite differently to how 2011 began. and it was. just not in the ways i had hoped.
since the start of the year i have asked myself the question ‘were money no object what would i do?’
while i may consider certain aspects of my life not to be perfect, i have enough cognition to know (as a spoiled capitalistic westerner) i have experienced material wealth beyond the imagination of 90% of all previous and current human existence - and yet no matter what my situation, i always seek for more.
as i look beyond my own current domestic arrangements, certain personal losses, and my desire for yet another pair of leather soled shoes i see a world in which: i finally am utilising my communications skills for the greater good. i am helping to drive and deliver changes to public health policy. i’m no longer simply creating further affluence for a prosperous minority; additionally i own a small, but potentially highly successful tea brand where i drink and i work and i share my passion.
were money no object, i wouldn’t change a lot. today i realised i am living my dream.
today i am 323 days sober.

Congratulations on your 323 days! You are truly blessed that you wouldn’t really change anything. I think most of us are sort of getting by, instead of making our dreams come true. I should ask myself the same question. I’m happy for you, gincup!
