Hello to all my fabuous, inspirational few friends.....
SF-- CONGRATS !! I'm right behind you. Tomorrow is my 30 days and I can't WAIT to go in and ask for my chip. Gravity, I still think you should!
I was sick in bed almost all of last week so, despite being absolutely MISERIBLE... I also have this little gratitude for it. Really, I had a freebie week, in a way. 2 Fridays ago I headed to a AA/AlAnon women's retreat... Getting out of there for a drink, although the fleeting thought did cross my mind, wasn't really very practical. The Monday in between could have been a disaster, but I was very proud of it. Enjoyed a good friend's birthday celebration and was happy to watch and dance with all the drunks --and REMEMBER it all!
Then even if I hadn't been 'on the proverbial wagon', I couldn't have drank last week if you'd paid me to... I was laid up in bed all week thinking... "Well, not much self-will gonna go riot while I'm laying here...."
lol - funny in a way, but a blessing in others....
sorry I haven't been around here listening and supporting as much as I would like to, but know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I never would have made it through that first day, nor TO my first meeting without you guys... and there have been several long moments in between that I owe my soberiety to you all, as well.
Thank you for being here.
Much love and hugs! ~C
