heh Sissy
i have been "low" most of today. Massive hay fever [earliest ever] , not much sleep. the boat i am building suddenly became a labor of drudgery. Not much income recently. One of my son's friends was driving loaded last week and ran off the road- killed one friend and another is on life support- the funeral's tomorrow. ...
I did what was suggested [ listen to someone else?- that alone is a friggin' miracle!] talked to my sponsor, talked to a sponsee, and most important: DID NOT PICK UP
like that old sufi poet Rumi wrote "this night will pass. Then we have work to do"
BTW- know a few Austin bred clean/sober folk. they say the recovery [AA/ NA] social scene down there rocks...
