No Defense

I was 74 years of age on June 13, 2020 and celebrated seven years of sobriety on June 25, 2020. In January 2013, my oldest daughter suggested that we do our goal books for the year, something she suggests every year. I hated this idea, because I cannot finish, let alone start, goals the way she does. That year I said: “OK, I’ll do it.” I arrived at her home with my bottle of wine, paper, colored pens, notebook with dividers. My goal was to Become My Best Self by the time I by the time I turn 70, in the categories of mental, spiritual, emotional, financial, physical and psychological. I felt so proud of myself.
