| Meetings
Since last Friday, I've only been able to make 2 meetings... the fewest meetings I've been to since I sobered up. Waaaay too few for me personally! That stinkin' thinkin' hit me hard when I woke up today. But I've also learned, and relearned today, how well those Tools really work.. I worked 1-2-3 again (I routinely do this) and emailed my sponsor pronto. Hence I was able to climb outta that hole within minutes of finding myself in it. It just amazes me how attending meetings is so important. As I said, this is the first time I've been to so few, so I really didn't have a gut appreciation of this. I am really, really, really looking forward to tonight's meeting!

| Thanks Moot...
...I needed that. In fact, I was freaking out last night b/c I couldn't make a meeting, b/c of my back. Lots of pain, and couldn't drive. Will be going tonight though. Still trying to figure out what I am going to do on Sunday, b/c of everyone's schedules, I cannot make a meeting. May have to just go to sponsor's house for a while and chat -- 2 or more, that counts! Great to see you on the board, glad you found your sanity too! You've reminded us all why we need meetings... Ken

Had a great meeting today - saw my sponsor celebrate 9 years of sobriety and I shared about having an alcoholic call me for support this morning (the first time that's ever happened). I was definitely grateful to be able to go. Ken - I know this is a little late, but I wanted to tell you I'm really glad to see you back around. Sounds like you're doing everything right. |

Thanks Moot, We all need to be reminded of the importance of meetings. I always feel better when I go to a meeting after missing a few days. I'm also amazed at how simple some of these solutions can be. There are so many bad things that enter my head. At meetings I get empty them out and replace them with good. I even have trouble going a few days without these boards. The thing I don't understand is I know I'll feel bad if I don't go and I still do it. Sort of like putting my hand on a hot stove, and then doing it again to see if it still burns. Glad to hear your back on track. Don W
