Well done Case , day 61 xx

How do you find AA MEETINGS ? Do they help you ?

Xx

I have gone to AA meetings off and on for many years, Snooz, but have never actually worked the AA steps.

I did not go to any meetings at all this time until two or three weeks ago. I've only gone to a couple since then but have set myself a goal this week of going to one every day and getting some phone numbers from folks there who say something I like.

I like where my life is headed now but have pretty much figured out that while SR has gotten me this far, it's not enough for me. I need some face to face recovery time as well if I want to keep moving forward.

I'm not sure if AA is the answer or if I need to get into some therapy/counseling of some kind but I'm going to give AA an actual real try first.

I do know that just sitting in a room full of people just like me for an hour a day is very calming and inspiring and generally makes my whole day better. Now I just need to take that next step and start actively doing the steps that those there with long term sobriety did to get where they are today.

Hey everybody,

Another boring day at work,but hey, I'm working.
Just got back from grocery shopping. Never do that while hungry.lol
Here's a little "husky" humor for your Tuesday night.

Oh, my brother called me tonight.
We don't talk all that much as he has his life and I have mine and we meet at mom and dad's mostly.
He told me he just passed 19 years sobriety and they want to give him a chip at the AA this week. He's shy so he said he would not go up in front.
It was nice to hear from him.

Good morning all,

Snoozy, hope your Dr appts go well. Thinking of you xxx
Bob, that's great that your brother has 19 years of sobriety. He must be proud of you too

Had a nice day at the pool yesterday . The girls were both really tired last night, which was good, but baby was up again, at 12:30 & 4:30 ugh. This morning she has a slight fever but no other symptoms. My mom thinks teething, but that is supposed to be an old wives tale?She already has her 2 bottom teeth. I am such a paranoid and worried mom. Will worry until she is herself again.

Have a great day/night everyone!

Lol Bob , loved the funny pic :-) glad you heard from your brother.

Ladybug , it's a 24 hour 7 day a week job , being a Mum. The hardest job in the world , but the most rewarding.

I was ALWAYS a worrier too. But I promise you sweetie , Abby will get past this , they have soooooo many hiccups along the way

I know it's easy for me to say , but try to enjoy , cos it goes so bloody fast.

Before you know it , they are 36, 23 , 22 and 18 , in the blink of an eye xxx

Relax & try not to worry about what might happen. That's what I would tell my younger self.

All those years I worried endlessly , for nothing lol . You will all be ok darling xxx

Did someone say that the 8th is Leshar's two year anniversary????

Leshar, we love you.

Hope today (and all your tomorrows) are good days.

Ladybug2

Thanks Snoozy, you made me cry and feel better

Gilmer

Congratulations, Leshar!

Ladybug2

Congrats Leshar!! We're all thinking about you and praying you are feeling better.xxx

According to Leshar's profile here, her sobriety date is July 3, 2013. Either way, that's two years so congratulations! Two years is something to be so proud of and is very inspiring to me! Hope you're able to check in soon. You're in my thoughts and prayers every single day.

Starting day 62 here. Two months ago today on May 8, 2015, I took that last revolting drink of scotch at around 10:30 pm. I can still taste that awful taste in my mouth now if I think about it. Thanks to each and every one of for keeping me sober one day at a time!

Off work today, going to a noon AA meeting again, no other plans. Just going to be a lazy bum and proud of it.

Gilmer

Congratulations, Casey!

Thinking of you today Leshar - congratulations on your sober birthday

resolute50

Oh goodness, I'm beat.
It's 10 pm and quite tired,but wanted to stop in.

Hey Leshar, hope to hear from you sweetie. Happy sober birthday girl.
Hope you are doing better.

I am so happy to see our little group here check in every day.
It's nice to read about how all your days/nights went. And although we are spread out all over this little blue and white marble called Earth,
It seems like we're sitting in the same room chatting.

Take care all.
Good night.

Good morning,

I agree Bob, it is comforting to know we are all fighting this together. It's so hard when others, especially family, don't get it.

I am tired. Yesterday was stressful as Abby wasn't feeling good and had a fever all day. Last night it got up to 102 and she was miserable so I gave her Tylenol and the fever finally broke, but she kept waking every hour. Finally brought her in bed with me so we could all get some sleep. The thought of drinking didn't even cross my mind yesterday/last night because I knew she was going to need me and want to nurse a lot. Funny how easy it is when we know drinking absolutely isn't an option (like when I was pregnant or kids are sick). This really is a baffling disease and our AV is so tricky. Sigh.

Ahhh Ladybug, I hear you. there are times when nothing on earth could shake my sobriety.

Poor little Abbey, I hope she is doing better today. I'm not sure about the wives' tale stuff, but I do think our mums know best...maybe it is teething. Whatever it is, I hope the beautiful little Miss is feeling better. And I am WAY proud of her mum. ♥♥

SnoozyQ

That's becsuse your motherly instincts over rule everything sweetie , it's who you really are without this disease xxx

Hope your little one is better ladybug
