Okay just caught up quickly on the last part. Liz, I'm glad you were able to think the drink through. It's important to share that stuff - the thoughts of drinking, I mean. You sound good. Red - you sound good too. I sure am glad you decided to join the LIS gang. Oh - and Liz - it's safe to run in the dark here, I suppose. I don't give it a lot of thought - maybe I should.

Morninh RO  Morning rusty passing that church last night BEE, and seeing.....you reap what you sow...amazing...after what we talked about. Its so true though for all of us. I try to be careful how I live today. I want people to want to be around me not politely visit cause they have too. My son calls a lot just for a "chat". cause he wants too, not cause he has too....not sure that would be happening if I was still drinking..going through old photos last night of when he was 9 and his face looked sad. You might not notice but I do. even in the photos where there were family smiles.....the eyes told a lot. Sadness, fear, confusion, it was all there. I need those reminders!! When I think about what you shared NEWLEAF, I realized why I need those reminders. I also thought about a story I once read in Alcoholics Anonymous big book. Here is a piece from it...... HE HAD TO BE SHOWN Quote:
Ps.....hope you got that audit sorted scredhead!! Per SR guidelines... any quotes are from BB 1st Edition.

I was just posting on gratitude list, last year I was in rehab, the world looked so dark, actually MY world was very dark, what a difference 1 year has made. Never would I have imagined this. I am so blessed. As you can see the gratitude glasses are all spiffed and sparkley and on my face.

When I went back out this time it was on a martini, a double martini to be exact. I had never drank one in my life, but I ordered a double. And my nightmare into hell began with that 1 martini.

I hate to be a downer but I am feeling pretty dark today, keeping active is so important for mental well-being and I cannot do it due to the M.E.. It is very frustrating and depressing. I am not as full of self-pity as I was a few weeks ago but I am quite down. I am having one fo those days were even getting out of a chair is hard work. I am trying my best to use my tools but it is hard.

Well that s*cks (((Stoney))) I hope you will use your tools, maybe call your sponsor or another person in program. Take gentle care of yourself, this will pass, it always does. Just don't drink over it or it will be worse. You know all these things Stone, its these hard times we go through and get through that make us stronger.

also Stone, Is it bright over there?? the sun is out here and its a lovely fresh autumn morning. just try and cultivate positive thoughts. I said to Rowan the other day, when she was having a bad day.......compared to what?? I shared that because one time I was in a hard place and an old timer said that to me. He was allowing me feel where I was (which is important) but he was asking me to look back at the mess that was! Stone feel it and accept it...... no point in fighting it. But know.....This WILL pass! Quote:

Good Morning LISers Stoney.........I'm sorry you aren't feeling well but I am very glad your not drinking. i remember many times when you couldn't get through these dark places without drinking. I proud of you bubba! I hope you all have a great day. Bee, I am also grateful not to be in rehab. I am getting close to 1000 days clean and sober. Amazing!! I never thought I could do it. My root canal is scheduled this week. I'm going to try to move it up to tomorrow so I can quit thinking about it. Happy Monday!  Off to class..... I sure wish you could all come get facials! Think of the fun we would have!

Thanks Tan. Donna, thanks for the offer but I don't feel like talking right now. You are very sweet to offer though. It means a lot. I wont be drinking today.
