Living In Sobriety Part 4

Thanks for asking about our weekend, Nelco. I haven't been to this particular cottage before, it belongs to a new friend's family. A 'cottage' in Ontario is typically a smallish summer vacation spot. Has all the amenities, but is usually on the water (a freshwater lake), is deep in the woods (hence mosquitoes), and time is usually spent sitting up past dark roasting marshmallows over an open fire in the yard by the water.

The weather is supposed to suck - I'm just preparing!

What else will we do? Probably play cards, watch movies, swim if the weather permits, and I will (possibly) bring my kayak even though it's a pain in the ass to tie onto my car. But if it means I can get out for an early-morning paddle while the rest of the crew sleep - I think it might be worth it. I might find my HP out on the water, who knows.

We will live in our bathing suits and sweats, will have unwashed hair, will eat a lot, rest a lot, talk, read, etc. It's my first time with these two gals, though. They will drink some, but not a whole lot hopefully. My daughter is a little nervous and shy about it too, but the girls we are with are really nice so I'm sure it will all be fine.

The woods will be teeming with birds, squirrels, skunks, chipmunks, raccoons, and (I hope rare) bear.

I am going food shopping soon - on my lunch hour. Then to pack a bag when I get home and load up the (possibly) kayak. The girls will be there to meet us about an hour after I get home so time is of the essence. We will follow one another to the cottage - just over an hour to get there and traffic will be HEAVY.

Maybe I'll pick up some new music at Wal-Mart for me and daughter to listen to on the way. Yes that would be nice. Some Rascal Flatts. LOL thank God she will have her iPod.

Ro, I think maybe you might be psychic, knowing exactly what this weekend holds for you, ha ha. Come on Nel's right, think about the positive things. Hey you're going away somewhere, not staying home. You're gonna be with your daughter, gf & her daughter, no phone ringing, no humdrum of everyday things. That is cool. A cottage sounds so nice.
Nel, It is a good feeling being in a church, I always feel closer to God there. I must get back to going to church. How can I expect my HP to visit with me when I don't visit him at his home.

HOS That yellow ball in the sky sounds delightful.

My daughters girlfriend is coming over to dye daughters hair, I am going to ask her to do low lights in my hair. Maybe a change will do me good.

[scaredykat]

Time for lunch. Jimmy got us pizza. Be back latter.

Sounds like my kind of weekend. That in itself would make it all worth it.

I might find my HP out on the water, who knows.

That's my idea of serenity.

The woods will be teeming with birds, squirrels, skunks, chipmunks, raccoons, and (I hope rare) bear.

Love those sounds at night, fire going, marshmellows, wow sounds great Ro. And just think if you see a bear you can SOCK him/her.

I am jealous!! That sounds like just what you need and I hope you can at least be open to the possibility of hp. when you are sitting out at that lake at night looking up at the stars remember you didn't put on those lights. There is something bigger than all of us. I believe we are all on a journey Rowan. Who knows what you are been taught right now but there are lessons in everything. I am hoping those girls don't drink too much while you are in such a delicate state. Have you a plan if they do? Maybe Gary will be visiting lol

[least]

Anxiety sucks! CAn't concentrate or sit still, feeling too hot then too cold. Took my meds this morning but so far no help. It's not a bad day here but wish I could calm down...

[Believe808]

Sorry you still aren't feeling well Least. Give it time, get some rest. That's really all you can do.

Nel, It is a good feeling being in a church, I always feel closer to God there. I must get back to going to church. How can I expect my HP to visit with me when I don't visit him at his home.

Yes its nice Bee when you have it to yourself especially but I think my Hp is everywhere.
I dont believe I have to go to the church but I like it sometimes. We were reading stuff today and reminding ourselves to just be still, be quiet, just be!!.... to be at one with hp. to let hp in.
We alcoholics are always running, racing, working it all out etc. heads always going at a hundred miles an hour.

[Believe808]

Nel I love you, you are like our den mother here on LIS, you always have the right words and you look at the big picture when we only see a frame.

That is my head Nel, I try to quiet it so I can just pray or meditate and it just keeps racing, I have to keep pulling back to whatever I was thinking, trying to stay there but I loose focus again and again. I am more aware of it lately, and trying to stop the thoughts from going on and on.
