Week 4, Entry 6

I have spent much of the day at the LA Queer Center, and am focusing on calming and relaxing myself in order to be a good guest and visitor, when Lee comes in 2.5 hours.
I have met many lovely people, but I am trying to be a little quiet and calm, because I am running out of energy. The food here has been very good, although a lot of it has been sugar. I've been keeping hydrated, though, that's the most important thing.
One thing I noticed is that when I mentioned my sobriety, other people brought it up, that they were also sober. Downstairs, we had a bundle of anti-fentanyl things, information on quitting tobacco and heroin, and dealing with overdoses. I've never actually seen someone using like that, although people in the van were drinking and doing edibles. I will not be doing that, of course. I do not like or want to be on anything here. Being encouraged to be sober feels GOOD. I wholly intend to remain sober.
My ears are covered, and while I can hear a lot, I can still have the noises be muffled. I should have brought a book, as sensible as it was to leave my rarer books, or library books, at home.
