Where does my focus belong?

When I'm not really grounded I've learned that it's important to identify the feeling. For the past few months I've been able to accomplish this with some regularity. That's due to step work and I'm grateful. I want to be grateful for my blessings, but the last few days I'm really a jumble. I've lost my conscious contact with God. I don't know what to pray for.. relief from what? Strength to do what?  I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions. I want to be near other people, but I want to observe instead of interact. I want to go to home, but I don't want to be alone. I want to cry, but I don't want to be sad.

Too much is going on to process it all. Mike died and I didn't do a thing for him to try and prevent it. I'm fuckin fat again. My parents are here. The only guy who I know that knew Mike is someone that I don't really like. My mom needs another blood transfusion. We're leaving for Ocean City a week from today. I missed the open mike this week and it's one of my favorite things to do so I'm missing a little of the buoyant feeling it provides. I'm not blind... I know she really likes me, but her insides aren't nearly as appealing as her outside so stop trying to push me towards something I'm not comfortable doing. I ripped a fairly new shirt. We're making a lot of money so far this year. I haven't read any recovery stuff in about 2 weeks and I feel like I'm regressing a little. Liberty is coming along nicely. I still want to smoke. I really miss Panthea's hugs. My home is kinda dirty and I wasted $400 in living social stuff for house cleaning because I forgot to use it. I've had a headache for over 24 hours and my eyes are blood shot. I need to put old pictures away because I look at them too much when I'm down. The last thing I said to my Grandpa was, "I can't talk now. I'll call you back." I thought about drinking recently. Even though my family is up here right now, I still have the feeling of missing them because they leave tomorrow. I'm busy and yet I feel so unproductive. On Monday I spent hours watching television holding a tiny stuffed giraffe.

  

The only thing I really felt comfortable doing the past 4 days was hugging a fucking stuffed animal. Yeah, that's where I'm at...
