Well, I woke up feeling very depressed this morning. My chronic pain is really bad today. I've been hurting since last week. It makes it hard to keep up with posts on SR that i want to read and write on.

I will say that I'm not going to drink over this. I use to do that on a daily basis. I am grateful that AA has helped me get and stay sober through all this.

I'm feeling depressed and disappointed that I probably won't be able to go to the AA convention up in Syracuse, NY. this weekend. I was really looking forward to that. The car ride alone would be hard not to mention the hard folding chairs to sit in all day. Maybe I'll get lucky, it is still a few days away. Who knows. My home group is on Saturday nights if i don't make it. We have comfy couches at my group so i never miss my group. That's one reason i joined that group; plus it was my home group back in 1992 when i was in AA the first time.

I'm going to call one of my contacts this afternoon. She's actually my sponsor's sponser. She doesn't work either and lives with chronic pain. So i know I'm not alone.

Thanks for listening.
