Cause you're freeeeeeeee to do what you wanna do

Somewhere in that lovely big book of alcoholics anonymous it says “we are not a glum lot” and last night was an amazing example of that saying. Last night I went to an amazing sober birthday party for two of my fellow addict/alcoholics Andrew and Brian! I have had plenty of fun in sobriety, but last night was just way beyond any other time! The party was PACKED, and had the most amazing soundtrack provided by two amazing DJs Quinn and Eddie X. I am in such awe with those two, not only because they are amazing mix masters(each with their own amazing takes on music, Quinn with classic disco dance, and Eddie with all the amazing house remixes of today and yesterday), but because they are sober men with strong senses of who they are, they truly inspire me to be a better sober man, and they also give me hope on someday going back to getting behind the DJ booth!

The crowd was filled with anyone who is anyone in AA/CMA, and I made a realization, it's true that we, just like any group is filled with cliques and gossip, and bitching but at the end of the day we would still have each others back. I mean as I stared at this sea of all kinds of queens, from the west Hollywood AA bitches, to the silverlake tweekers we are all just so different but yet so alike. We all have a problem with addiction, whether it be with alcohol, meth, coke, crack, pot, pills, eating, not eating, we are just a bunch of broken people working hard as all hell to make ourselves better human beings. That is what I love about the program. My friends today come in all shapes and sizes; different socio-economic backgrounds, different upbringings, from all over the world, boys , girls, everything in between, every color and no matter what clique we belonged to in high school, college, or out in the gay world we are all here for the same thing, to recover and make a life full of love hope and freedom for ourselves. Anyway I'm starting to repeat myself, I'm still all worn out from dancing for 5 hours (damn that HIV and Hep C!!!! ) so I'll wrap this up as I get ready to go to a meeting.
