September Sobriety Group Part 2

[endzoner]

I think it suits yah to a tee Ash .. tee hee

[serenitea]

Ash - I like it as well! Very to the point.

In the midst of all my drama this last week - I did have a really interesting thing happen... one of my employees pulled me aside and said - "I really hope you don't take this the wrong way - but some of us have notice a real change in your behavior. (UH OH - I thought) You just seem so HAPPY these past few weeks - just really happy, we are not complaining, we are just wondering what is going on with you - what are you doing differently these past few weeks?".

Can you imagine that? I wanted to scream - well I am not hung over every morning! Or obsessed with drinking... I had thought that I was putting on a pretty good show before getting thru days, smiling, trying to be nice and happy but I guess I was not fooling anyone.

[Kablume]

I think it's as cute as a button. lol! Really Ashlee, it's you.

serenitea, it's funny how people can see the positive changes in us before we can see them in ourselves. That is one of the many miracles of sobriety.

I got up way too early again this morning. Also, I was up in the middle of the night for a few hours. Hope this doesn't become a habit.

Halloween is upon us. We got invited to a party but are not going. I didn't find these people that funny drunk when I was drunk. I find that I really don't have any reason to be at a gathering where booze is going to be. This will limit my social life tremendously. Oh well. I am hoping in time I will have sober friends. One of my old friends I used to drink with has been sober about 6 mos. now. We just haven't gotten together. You know how it is.

But I'll have my daughter and the kids tonight. So that'll be fun. I love seeing the little trick-or-treaters come to the door.

Well, you guys have a safe and sober Halloween. Talk to you soon I hope!

Good morning all and Happy Halloween .. Its probly one of my very fav holidays . I like to decorate the lawn and house , But this yr with the weather the way it was I didnt manage to get one thing up other then a hangup thingie on the front door . Ooh well theres always next yr .
Seren .. Aint it awesome when thing like that occure , Yah you think they had no idea what was going on in your life , But it so not true , people just dont say anything to us about it . and hence we think they dont have a clue .. I remember the first time someone made the comment to me bout what was going on in my life that things were diff in my self . Well Im not shy bout what I changed in my life . and that I was sober and workin a program of my own choosing . Many dont like to expose it and thats cool . But perhaps that someone can maybe be inspired from my own changes.
Its like getting your hair done and someone says hey you look great . its one of those lil gifts you get from being sober.... and what a great gift soberity is !

Kablume. good for you not takin in the party , really nuttin fun about a bunchof grown adults in costume makin arses of them selfs , Other then self reflection of what we were like when we were doing the same , I know I sure dont miss them days . tho I do miss getting dressed up and seeing others with costumes on . We dont get many trick treaters in my building its a bummer but were not gonna be home anyways , Were going to see SAW6 wahooo.. Im excited ... the Mr is takin me out to dinner prior to the movie for my birthday , a few days early but its now or wait till end of the month
( deer hunting season starts next week ) which is just fine buy me ive been waiting a yr for this day to see the movie .
Birthdays were a big time party occassion for me , now i just wake up and be so greatful that im able to wake up and that im sober and not having to ask my self what I did that nite in front of people , ooh the storys i got from my celebrations . Now im not saying they went fun .. cuz what i can remember they were .. but at the soon to be age of 47 im to old for that sorta thing ..
Larry my dear friend peekin in the shadows ,, tee hee hows bout sharing that lil share you spoke of last nite in here for the group to read , it was very inspiring ..Im sure they would love to hear it ..
Well one more day of work not sure if im getting tomarrow off or not , but I do know its a possible thing as most of the rooms are going vacates and no turn arounds , but the hubbies gonna go site his gun for the deer season ( notmy kinda thing ) so mite work I dont know .. well see today whats what .. but I so cant waitttttt !!! well ok im rambled enuff mores later Sober Trick or Treat day .. dont eat to much candys !
Huggles ~Endzy ~

[ashleek]

It is a gross rainy day today and I have to take my son trick or treating later and he is in such a bad mood! UGH. I was supposed to do a side job this morning and just remembered about thirty minutes ago....jeez. What a day today is going to be. OH WELL, things could be worse, I could be using and I'm not.

I went to two meetings lastnight and a AA haloween party. That was a lot of fun. Instead of everyone bar hopping we went AA hopping. Tha Halloween dance was pretty fun, met a lot of cool people. The girl I took with me has got about two months clean and man she drives me crazy. She is going through a divorce and so she is throwing herself this big pity party and everyone keeps telling her that she is obsessed with this man. Literally ya'll for 4 hours all I heard about was her husband. I was ready to scream.

I am a mostly positive person and don't like to dwell on the negative in my life. Yes divorce is a hard thing to go through but the way I see it, there is nothing she can do about it, she has relapsed so many times he just can't trust her anymore and she realizes it but chooses to dwell on it. You can't talk to her because she is consumed by him. I just wish she could be a little bit stronger and focus on her for now. Sometimes I wonder if she is really 'done' with the drugs or if she was getting clean for him. I hope it's for her.

She has the 'F it' attitude and says well if I'm going to be alone I might as well say "F IT" and get high. If she could only recognize that that is her addict mind talking to her but really I don't know if she is truely ready to stop using. Who knows. I just had to get that off my chest cause she is driving me crazy.

Have a sober Halloween everyone!!

[ashleek]

Well where is everyone on this beautiful Sunday? I hope ya'll are doing good. My son had a blast trick or treating lastnight but he is sick this morning with a cough and congestion.

I am going to an NA meeting tonight because I am needing to relate more to people instead of going to the AA meetings all the time. My home group only talks about how AA has helped their life instead of talking about what problems they have had, fear, the steps or something other than how AA has helped their life. I'm like "I get it, **** shut up about it for a month". It gets annoying. I need to be around addicts for a night. We are different in many ways than AAer's but the same in a lot of ways too.

Have a happy sober day guys!!

[serenitea]

HI All! I agree with ya Endzy - I love halloween... had a great day yesterday - took my daughter to a party where there were lots of parents with little kids (about a year and under). It was really fun - my daughter loved it - she ran around the house with her costume on just screaming in delight.
Lots of folks were drinking - interesting to watch all these new moms and dads downing the beers and wine and all I could think is that it is just NOT something I would need.

This morning, my husband, daughter and dog went for an early morning walk at the park. We talked about how great it is to wake up with no hang over and my husband (who has really decreased his drinking - pretty much to nothing since I stopped, thank god!) commented on how great it is that we are not drinking.

Oh and did I mention I ate WAY too much candy yesterday?

[Kablume]

Just thought I'd pop in and say Hi! Glad you ladies had a good Halloween with your kids. That's what it is all about. Ashlee-glad you went to an NA meeting. How did it go?

Endzy, how was the movie and your day off? And what day is your birthday? 47 isn't old! You're just beginning to live. Don't they say 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40? I hope so because I'm one immature 50 yr old! I wish I could say I felt 40 today. Meh, don't know why I feel so blah right now. But anyway, good day to be sober!

Not a lot going on. Glad it's Monday so I can get back into my routine. I feel kind of out of sorts. And I too ate too much candy serenitea! Which I didn't need might I add. But it's over for another year.

Hope all have a great sober Monday!

[endzoner]

Aint had the day off yet , was gonna on sunday , but i was a bit upset at the Mr so I decited to go in , its better to be at work and be upset then sit around the house and be that way ,
The movie was gorrie as expected , now I would say it was good but someone was sitting there texting on there phone during the movie and kinda ruined it for me . Next time im going to the movies alone . Im gonna be 47 tomarrow ( wensday ) not sure , but i think im gonna have tomarrow off . will see .. Not sure what Im gonna do if i do anything , Im still lil peeved off at the Mr for my day outta town deal .. just rather leave it at that .. trying to get over it .. good note is Im sober and thats all that matters ..

LMAO!

I'm glad your trying a different meeting Ash because they are not all the same. The talk about how AA has saved people can get annoying but understand there is a train of thought that says the solution should be talked about in meetings. I didn't make that up I'm just letting you know. Have you tried to talk about what you need to talk about? They usually ask if anyone has a topic they want to talk about. Just say what is on your mind and see what response you get.....ok maybe don't say everything that is on your mind.

Kablume I have been feeling out of sorts myself. That doesn't mean I have been even close to considering going back to a life of booze. When I'm feeling that way today I'm looking for solutions and alcohol isn't one of them. It's nice to be in a place where I can see it for what it is.

TD I'm sorry to here about your day out on the town. I enjoyed talking to you in chat but I was sad to here how it went. I don't know what it takes to get men to take one evening and make there wives happy......

Ok I should back my way out of that one....I hope you are back on top and your happy self soon. Love you Ron.

We had some alcohol flavored drama at my home this weekend. Makes me want to just pack up and run away. It's one thing to see and admit I can't control other people, it's another thing to be dragged into their drama. The booze part didn't bother me as much even though I can see my son has a drinking problem mixed with marijuana, it was the yelling and fighting and insistence on drama.....It impacted me more then I expected. Again....the urge to just leave this life behind and move on. I don't want to go into the details about it but the good thing is it has all calmed down and I have a few new personal rules now to nip this kind of stuff in the bud starting with the girlfriends brother is never welcome in this house again and also no more coming over here drunk for anyone, period.

Ok, enough of that. Stepping back for a moment I am grateful to be the calm sober sane one this weekend. That is the direction my life is now going. I am up to the task of being strong and dependable as long as I never cave into alcohol again and for me to do that would be insane.

I do have hope today. I'm grateful to have God's will as my life today. I have so much to be grateful for and so much to look forward to.

[ashleek]

The NA meeting I went to was at the place I detoxed. They have an open meeting on Sundays and it was just wonderful, filled my soul up. There is just a difference I think between alcoholics and addicts. Us addicts are high strung people, it's a different addiction in some ways but in other ways just the same!

In NA people get loud and crazy and I love it. Us addicts are just crazy, hiper kind of people and AA is more laid back, a lot of fun, but NA is just a lot different.

Have a good day guys!

[endzoner]

( just getting things off my chest ) awee thanks Larry my sweets ... Hes really a wonderful guy and all , just wish he would of said something bout not wanting to go , other then being a bump on a log an going . I know im a lil over the top at times ill admit that , but it was just one day outa how many days of work that I wanted to just have some fun
Full Moon rising, the birthday , hormones .. what ever but having a lil bit of a tuff time .Not that the bottle is calling and even if it did i wont answer .. Ive always been a person to celebrate my birthday with a party .. close friends and massive amounts of drinking of corse followed by the how i get home , what did I do .. you know the list i dont gotta repeat it for anyone ..
My last party was for my 40th it was ( for waht I can recall ) a really fun time .. My bro surprised me by showing up ( hes 400 miles away ) that was a great prezi ... well that only ment more partying that nite , Last thing I can remember is being dranged in the house my bro on one side and my then boyfriend ( who was a non drinker ) lol .. on the other side .. Sick the next day , and lots of questions .. apparently they even took me to the strip club and bought me a lap dance lol wish i could of rememberd that one . ( im notta prude just fyi ) its times like that, even tho I cant recall everything I do remember alot . That make me miss events such as that .. I was known for my gathering of ppl to party . I think thats why I get in such a down mood around my birthday , Cuz I know I cant ever do that again ! I know one weekend a yr dont make the rest of my life happy , its each day that Im sober that makes my life better WAY BETTER .. im just rambling to get some thoughts off my chest , its been beating at it as if i was King Kong or something Not to mention im almost another day older sure its just a number and all that but dang im closer to 50 now ( i feel a relpy from that statment from Larry here ) . Im off tomarrow yes people i said IM OFF TOMARROW.. it ends a 37 day run holly hanna .... Not all sure what Im gonna do tomarrow thinkin INK would like to get some INK .. and not for my printer either .. It always perks me up and ive been workin on a idea for one , just not sure if i wanna spend the xtra $ on it .. but Im still thinkin bout going tot he city (SOLO) do lil shopping walkin around its sposed to be a nice day , maybe look into seeing if theres a meeting i can make while im down there , that Is if i can find the place ( its a big area ) well thanks for letting me get some crud off my chest i can breath a lil bit better .. massive Huggles to my class mates of Sept .. ~ Endzy ~

[serenitea]

Endzy - in case I don't get to log in tomorrow - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
You have given yourself the best gift of all this year - and to all of us as well by you being here in this group and sharing yourself and your time. Thank you for your gift to us!
And think how awesome it will be to remember the entire night!

[Kablume]

Happy Birthday endzy and congrats on your 6 years!!!!!!!
Didn't tell us about the sober birthday you had! ..... That is just wonderful!!!!
And ditto what serentea said. You are a special lady for all that you do. It is great having you here with us. Thank you for coming and sharing your ESH.

Dean it is so good to see you. I'm glad to see that you came through the weekend as the strong sane one. It seems that there was a lot of insanity going on this past weekend according to the threads I read.

I too haven't felt like taking a drink but Monday night I had this thought that I could do this by myself without AA. That is what got me back out there drinking. So I got myself to my meeting. And the topic was on unity of all things. So by the grace of God, I get what I need.

Ashlee, I am glad you found what you needed at an NA meeting. We should go where we feel comfortable and are getting what we need.

endzy, glad you decided to take a day for yourself! And you may get a tat, how cool. What are you going to get, might I ask? I hope you buy something for yourself while you are shopping. How seldom do we actually do things for ourselves. I hope this day is special for you.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in MI. I drove my son to Detroit to see his girlfriend and daughter and so he could go to a Pistons game. It was a nice drive and I didn't freak out. Thank God for my GPS that leads me as I can never remember how to get in and out of Detroit every time I go. I'm a city gal but not a big city gal.

Well, Ill sign off. Hope all have a wonderful sober Wednesday.

[endzoner]

massive amounts of Huggles ~ endzy ~

Ps ..... thanks you guys for being here as well , just cuz your new to recovery dont mean I dont get something outta your shares as well .. gotta give it to get it .. xx/oo

[Kablume]

Glad you had such an enjoyable birthday endzy and found that chair! I love it when I find a deal. And something you really wanted.

My kids pick on me because I have an older cell phone because I refuse to jump on board with these new I-phones and Blackberries like they have. Plus, my old one works just fine for what I need it for. Also, I refuse to text. Figure if I'm going to go to all that trouble, I might as well pick up the phone and call ya. I guess I'm showing my age, aren't I? I still haven't quite figured out how to work everything on my phone.

Well today is my 60 days sober. How fast the time has gone by. It has really helped to be able to come here and be able to "talk" to you guys. So thanks for being here!

Hope you all have a great sober Thursday! Big hug to all

[endzoner]

wahoooo Kab 60 days you go gurl thats sooo flipping fantastic !!! big big congrats to you .. thanks for sharing that with us and being here huggles ~ endzy~

[Dean62]

Your birthday sounds wonderful TD! Some alone time and getting to bum where you want for what you want and scoring big......AND McDonalds? WOW.....We must be soul mates TD. I'm glad that you had a nice day.

60 days for Kablume....you doing awesome. It's great to watch you come here and face life head on in such a calm manner. Well that's how you come across, I know inside your just as insane as the rest of us. As for the phone stuff....I went a couple years without one and was reluctant to get one, I don't have much use for it....well until I figured out how to use it as a modem for my laptop when I'm at work.....Some day I will get an Iphone and I know I will love. That's something to look forward to, no rush.

I'm very much at peace this week. I love my 4 day weekends. Wednesday night I went to my 5:15 home group meeting and met a new guy there. At the end of the meeting he suddenly announced he needed help, he needed a sponsor right now. That's when I noticed the sweat coming off his forehead. Some people raised there hands to be sponsors and he picked a guy right on the spot. After that I put my name and number on a schedule and handed it to him and then the 3 of us talked for awhile. His new sponsor wanted him to meet him at another meeting later that night and he (the sponsor) told me after the new guy was gone to give the new guy a call the next day.

So I did.

He didn't answer but he did call back later and we talked for half an hour. He is in a bad place and needs help right now. He didn't go to the meeting with his new sponsor but he wanted to go back to the meeting where he met us.

It was interesting for me, for just a moment in my life I had a purpose and it wasn't me. He actually woke my up from what it my bed time and I couldn't get back to sleep so I ran down to the central office and picked him up a BB. He mentioned having some Acohlic cure book he bought off the TV........I'm not going to go there......staying sober is the first order of business.

He didn't show up to the meeting last night. But I have a brand new BB I'm keeping in my car now for the right person....or wrong person I don't know. The meeting last night was great as usual. I tend to be intimidated because.....it's just my head, I have no logical reason I just am but last nitgh I spoke from my experience and I think I might have mad sense......I don't pressure myself to talk or to even make sense when I do but it feels nice to maybe have done that for a change.

There is a spirit about that meeting that sets it apart from other meetings I have been to around the city. Then a strange thing happened after the meeting. I actually found myself outside in a circle of about 6 people talking and......they actually seemed to want to hear me talk?......I am so not used to that.....Am I starting to fit in.....the thought terrifies me and yet it is what I wanted....I think......

There are actually people there that know my name and even give me ---> s.

I have an appointment this morning to give blood for money. It's my first time trying this so it's supposed to take a couple hours. My plan is to have all the money go towards my credit card....will see how that goes.....

After that I am going to have an absolutely amazing day.....or not.....Whatever God has in mind today works for me.

Have a good one September group....oh....TD, sorry I didn't give you a hug when you left chat last night, I logged in then stepped away and then you were gone. I hope to be the meeting here in chat tonight so maybe we will see each other there?

[a fallen man]

today is day 60 for me......woot....woot!!!

i usually don't count a day until i make an X through it on the calendar but i will not drink today and my calendar is at work so i'm claiming it from the casa.

thanks to everyone for making it possible.

david.

[serenitea]

Hi everyone - 60 days fallen! fantastic - and 60 kablume - wow everyone is doing great. I need to count mine.. I know it is over 30.

Dean - your post is great - it is such a nice feeling when suddenly you realize that you are fitting and people are hearing you.

I am ready to start my weekend. I hope all of you have a wonderful sober weekend. I am really ready to relax - and keep myself sane.

I have a big project in a class I am taking which is due in a week. I have so much work to do and I find myself thinking about the outcome of the project instead of focusing on just this moment and doing the work. I think it is one of my issues which always caused me to drink. I get very very excitable and fast forward and cannot relax and just be in this moment and enjoy it. Also OBSESSED with trying to make it perfect - which is not healthy for me.

I am ready to work on that this next week. Deep breath and slow it down. I am really focused on taking on these areas in my life that used to be where I would turn to drink and walking thru them sober. The irony in the past is that I would drink, do some of the work a bit tipsy, be hung over and the final product would never be as good. Lets see how it goes now!

[endzoner]

good evening sept family ..... its an Indian Summer day here I think we got up to the 70's sure was really nice for a chnage , but hate to be teased with such nice weather cuz you know its not here to stay , but Im greatful that it arrived , tho its not helpful for opening day of deer season .
Fallen a big congrats on 60 days thats fantastic ! and its great to see you , we miss ya in here ...
Larry Larry Larry I so adore you ... And why wouldnt they wanna hear you talkin .. you have sooooo very much to offer in your sharing. why you think ive attached myself to you .. I love listening ( ok typing ) your shares . you wisdom ( its what I call it ) has helped me and soooo many others thu out this site .. your an asset to this forum ..
Im glad your commin outta your lil shell , I know its something your workin at and lil steps are so workin for you .. Im extremely proud of you my dearest friend !
Not to worry bout last nite , I know your busy and sometimes away from you pc , I know the mental hug is there ,
As for the BB for someone , God will put that person in your path when Its time , but your eye were opened wide and I think perhaps its a lil calling for you , I think you would make a wonderful sponcer , when you ready to do so , only you will know when that is , but least getting out there and putting your # on that list for someone reach out and ask for help is a really big step . after all we all know what its like , and how it is . And it does help us to help another , Why else would we be here . as they say gotta give it to get it ... well Im just chillaxin in my rocker like some old lady .. tee hee ... but its nice and quiet the Mr is still out lookin for that deer .. so its just Stash and myself rockin in the chair , watching " all in the family " i love that show ... well Ill try and make the chat meeting tonite .. have a great one you all and massive amounts of huggles ~ Endzy ~

[Kablume]

Fallen, WTG on your 60 days!!!! It's great to see you here and that you are doing good.

Dean, that is neat that you have reached out the hand of AA. Even if they don't reach back, it will help you stay sober. Glad you feel that you are fitting in. It is a good feeling. I get that now and then. I am starting to reach out more.

Serenitea, I bet you will do well on your project. You sound like you are really moving in the right direction.

I believe I'm going to head to a speaker meeting tonight. A man from my noon group who has 23 years today is speaking and I want to hear his story. He always has some good things to say in the meeting.

I hope you all have a good sober weekend!

[Dean62]

Congratulations fallen man!!

I still don't know what is going on with me and sleep. I haven't talked about it here and have been trying to ignore it. I had forgotten how bad it was in 2008 when I had a year of sobriety. For months I would sleep 12 to 16 hours a day. My life was work and sleep. It's a big reason I relied on SR so much that year, I wasn't awake and out there enough to go to many meetings. It's really been hitting me the last few weeks again, I finally went to bed last night knowing I didn't have to get up for anything this morning. I slept from 9pm last night until 4:30 pm today.....that's about 17 hours although I did wake up for about an hour around 2am I think it was. I'm still groggy.

I had a doctor I was working with on it and making some slow progress but then my work changed insurance companies and I had to find a new DR......ugh......It' like starting all over again and I don't think I like the new DR. I'm going to look for another one. I have yet to be diagnosed but it feels like a chemical imbalance when it hits. Like I have been drugged or something.....So I'm a little down at the moment since I slept away my Saturday but tomorrow is my favorite day of the week and I truly have so much to be grateful for I won't be down for long.

Good to see all of you hear staying sober and keeping this thread going.

[endzoner]

good morning class ... its not to bad outside this morning tho the cows ( at the sale barn ) are really loud . Kinda ruins my quiet time outside , but ooh well . Its deer season and the hunters leave this morning from the Inn I hope its not to bad of a mess , from what we could tell yesterday they ARE way better then the pheasant hunters !

Larry my love , I recall last year this time I think matter fact that you were struggling with this sleep pattern issue , Do see someone about it. The flip side of it is , It could be worse it could be your not sleeping . But I hear you bout wasting a day sleeping , Tho our bodys know were tired , I can imagine its hard for your body to know when its sposed to turn off or on with the strange hours you work . And then add winters changing hour , really makes things messed up .
I so understand the insurance thing , were going thu so heath issues with the Mr and its just messed up . But anyways , I hope you find a Dr that can help you with your problem .
Yippy for your favorite day . its football for me ! goooo 49'ers tho were not up there in the top rakes im still a loyal fan ! Well just wanted to stop in and say good morning to all my class mates what few are left , many huggles enjoy the day sober and have a good time at what ever it is your doing , many huggles ~Endzy~

[Kablume]

Good morning all. Was good being in the meeting last night here. Was my first time going into chat. Will have to try it more often. Step outside my comfort zone. I was a little nervous!

Dean-hoping you find the right Dr. to get your sleep issues straightened out. Sleep is so important to stay balanced. It is for me because I have a chemical imbalance.

We had a beautiful day here yesterday though it was a little windy. Today looks just as promising. Maybe get in another walk.

Just wanted to pop in and say Hi. I have nothing profound to share. Other than thanks for being here. Glad we're keeping this going.
Have a good sober Sunday. Enjoy the day!
