Thanks Nina and all--
The retreat was-well, so many things...It is en emotional ride that's for sure...but I'm in it to grow....I have a clear picture of where I am and what I need to do to move forward..made a huge amends last night.....
How does this tie in to abstaining from OS?
Well-If I am actively working on the steps, I do better in every area of my life..it's just that simple for me.....now keeping it up LOL is another thing!!
If I "keep on keeping on" the monkies won't climb on my back

and talk nonsense to me.
have a good day!
