More sober house things

I spent a little over a month and a half at the house. I slowly got used to the rules and 20 some roommates and it became part of my life for a bit. Looking back now it was such a short time but then it did seem like a while. As soon as I decided to enter sobriety it almost seemed like time stood still for a while. I think it was because I was so faded all the time that the days would go in a blur. Now that I've adjusted it's pretty normal again. I can't believe its below 0 degrees right now. What happened to summer? Oh yeah I was in treatment. Back to the house. It took a while to get down all their little rules. No coffee between 8:30 am-9:30 am (yeah don't ask, I got in trouble for questioning that one) no showers between that time either (Yep got in trouble for that one two a couple times-ignorance is bliss correct?) no t.v. after midnight, no cell phones in the house, and no reclining on the reclining couches(yeah really didn't get that either). I accidentally used one guys bleach for my dishes one day and never seen a man get that upset over 3 cents worth of bleach. I offered him a dollar but he refused. He could of bought a whole new bottle. He then brought it up at the house meeting in the morning. I immediately got up and threw the dollar at him to everybodys surprise (don't mess with me before I've had my coffee!). He didn't talk to me for most of the remaining time there but, I was fine with that he obviously had mental problems. He did tell me once that he had stabbed a guy with a pair of siccors and I did not want to succumb to the same fate so I treated him fairly nicely after that whole incident but we really didn't interact after that. I think he was really embarrassed to because all the guys were on my side and most of them being broke they almost all dove after that dollar I threw. It was like watching starving wild dogs sitting in a field mouths watering as I'm dangling a nice juicy steak in front of them. Any ways we had to do Breathalyzers a lot and if we left for a weekend pass a u.a. was done too. I never went on a weekend pass. I tried for my birthday but they figured I was gonna go party (which was not the case) but they've dealt with it all so they always expect you're up to no good. I had doctor checkup's too. They u.a. me every time I go in. In fact as I type this I am getting ready to go in to the doctor for a checkup. Well I guess that's what I have for you today I bid you along your day.......
