Aww Rusty...I don't mind if anyone else spells things wrong...I've got this 'creeping perfectionism' thing happening with 'meself'...and I'm not grateful at all for it!

grateful to be feeling better I think I had food poisoning and spent a few hours in the loo on my knees! At least it was not because I had over indulged.

Kevin ..food poisoning..definitely nothing to laugh about there...

I had that once, a bad hamburger. I thought it tasted a bit 'dodgy' but I was so hungry. Four hours later it hit me...I couldn't get far from the 'loo' for about five days.

And I couldn't get a prescription off the doctor, because I'd spent ALL my money on drugs and alcohol. So, quite a bit of soul searching went on in that loo..

Grateful I don't have to eat dodgy hamburgers today.

thanks still a bit washed out but feeling ok

grateful that its my belly button birthday tomoorrow, my 3rd in recovery and it seems they get better. I have no dramas in my life, good friends in the fellowship and starting to meet people outside of the fellowship including two women, my finances that I could not see how they would be resolved without me going into bankruptcy and liquidating the company have been taken care of, the debt is now far more managable.

I am ok these days with most things that come my way, I turn my will over every single day.

I am just so grateful (HP NA SR - Thank you)

Off to dinner and a movie with my Daughter and my ex Friday night, then work on the property Sat Morning meeting in the avo and then out to dinner with a member who has just had a 40th birthday and her friends. Who knows on Sun I think I will stay close to home do a meeting, talk to my sponsor be with the dogs and enjoy being me, that the gift I have been given.

Kevin
