Hi Flutter...
Hi... I am David, proud ACA and Alanon long-timer...
I lost my job last year... it was going to happen and i kept it going as long as I could to keep the cash rolling in.
I have gotten part time work and heaps to do at home. [I even wrote and published a book!] But its these loose moments I miss my workmates and the daily routine.
I was in your town last year and weent to a meeting there in the basement of a church. I live in the country and i had to find my way across D. There was a Mexican parade in progress. Talk about beating my way to the back door!
Its a trend to see AA's coming in for family stuff. its happening in my community too. I always saw AA as the "A" team". Being a guy, especially,
I would have rather bin there...
... it has challenged me in a positive way tho'. To look at my own recovery and realise I have lots to offer. Stuff to pass on... stuff in common to share...
its a family illness: we are all in it together... take care...
thanks..
