I have been in Afghanistan for 6 weeks now. Time is moving. I have gotten in to a rhythm of working, working out and sleeping. Work is going well and I am staying busy at work. Sobriety is not a constant struggle here- but it gets easy to fall into conversations about drinking- as that appears to be the only thing people think about over here.
I am pretty sure one of the guys who just got here is an alcoholic and some other substance abuse issues. He will have to get clean here though.
I have been reading my bible consistently- looking for some internal peace. I am amazed at how many passages talk directly about drinking too much. Interesting. Don't think I ever noticed that before.
I found a solution to blogging without internet in my room. I am currently at an internet cafe. The only problems are that it took me 30 minutes to get a computer and I only get 30 minutes online. Couple that with the 15 minutes it took me to get to this website and that will explain the short nature of this blog!
Hope you are all doing well.
So glad you let us know how you are doing!!! I am glad your taking care of yourself. Keep that bible handy. You never know the person you think may be alcoholic may need a meeting, it just takes 2!
