Day 7 spiritual alignment

Today was a pretty chill day for me, a break from the Emetine treatments.  I had my Sleepy around 11am and I woke up in my room at about 1:30.  I had lunch then went to classes at 3:00 and 6:00 with dinner at 5:00.  The day seemed to pass by fairly quickly, the days are certainly going faster as I get closer to the end.

One of the newer guys had his first Sleepy today after his first Duffy yesterday.  He's anxious to get moving through the program and was wishing he could do a Duffy today instead.  I remember that feeling-- the Sleepy days, which are like a day off, can make you feel like you're not doing anything.  But I've come to like the space between the Duffys.  It is a nice time to reflect on yesterday and anticipate tomorrow.

I'll have Duffy number 4 tomorrow.  There will be 16 drinks involved.  Blech!

The evening group session tonight was led by a wonderful counselor I'd not met or heard speak before.  I guess he spoke last night but I didn't go as I was still recovering in my room.  Anyway the session was really great.  He's a powerful and dynamic person and I think we all learned a lot.  I will continue to read over his handouts and try to apply his concepts.

I can't believe day 7 is coming to a close, my time here is almost over.  More new people keep coming in and I'm enjoying getting to know them and help them into the program.  I'm so grateful I've had this opportunity.
