Quick check in
struggling with frustration from not finding work, despite sending out many resumes
Tough time dealing with the break up of my ex-girlfriend, her antagonizing attitude, to involved to get into here
while it is tough, I'll try to keep moving forward

Hi everyone,
Just a quick fly by check in.
Tiring week. A lot of work around the house, job searching, helping my sister go to physical therapy (after her car accident) and helping watching her baby. Wow did i say all that and do all that? LOL! Weird couple of months. with all this going on.
A little out of sorts, feeling frustrated, tired, yet hanging there.
This is all normal life stuff happening. I will get through it. Doing the best I can, within my capabilities.

Hi folks,
A bit of a rough week. The job search amongst other things is sort of a drag. I'm dealing with things the best I can.
How is everyone else?

Terrific idea. Recovery is slow, life can be tough but with time the changes are astonishing. On Oct. 12 I'll have 22 years and I'm still learning. What recovery in AA has done is give me incredible tools, a support system, to help me get through the very hard times. Some character defects are harder than others, I just keep working on them. The most rewarding thing I can do is help someone else get and stay sober. What a gift! I'm still an agnostic but have a Higher Power and that works for me.

It is still hard to have faith sometimes, although two decades of miracles helps! God works through the fellowship of AA, surrounds me with more love than I've ever known in my life.

HI everyone
NYC, you sound ok!
I had a good day today. It was great to photograph for a local music hall of fame. It was a duel situation, a photographer had his work on exhibit and a musician had an autographing of his books. A real treat! All completely sober. And it was held at a local winery! LOL!! No kidding! Of course I had my water as my beverage and not a single temptation to drink! It's nice living life with a clear head and eyes, while being human again! I am still up from the event due to an exciting night!
Sobriety can happen if we choose to have it.

Hi everyone,
Things are ok here. Still frustrated with a few things, like getting steady work. That will come in time, i gather.
Keeping busy around the house. Just finished staining the deck, amongst other things. They give me a good sense of accomplishment.
The fourth of July (Independence day) is coming up. Its a wonderful feeling to enjoy holidays and remember them.

HI everyone,
things are basically the same.
i took some time out for a very fun Fourth of July celebration
i went to the Long Island Ducks baseball game. The Ducks won 7-5 on a 3 run home run!
fireworks after the show were after the game and fun to watch. i am so glad i went
and it was a packed house too! so many people there having fun!
this is one of the small things in life that makes me grateful to have a sober life.

Hi Folks,
I just wanted to bump this thread.
Things here are alright. Some rough spots, yet i am hanging in there.
Went on a wonderful vacation to see an old friend in another state. I had a wonderful time! That's one of the benefits of living substance free! We reminisced about old times and enjoyed creating new times.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I wish more folks would post. I would love to see how everyone is doing!

21 years here. Living in the rooms of AA for the first 5 years helped me realign my mind and emotions and was critical IMO.

Hello everyone,
just checking in.
Rough week. Some issues with a family member (family member outside the immediate family) creating some enormous problems. The bad moods are flying high and all around.
Somehow I am managing to stay clear, as much as possible. It is rough, as some "mud" has been thrown my way.
while i have no desire to drink at all, it is affecting my sanity some what. its frustrating and grating my nerves.
I'll just hang in there and keep doing my best.

HI everyone!
What an unbelievable end of summer vacation i have had.
Labor day celebrated here in the USA. Much needed after quite some time finding work, lol, which came just before i went away.
Frustration had set in with some things in my life to that point. Many things I am not happy with. Staying grateful for the good things and working on eliminating the negative.
Went to Virginia to visit a good friend. We went to a state fair, Virginia Beach and a baseball game.
It was awesome seeing my friend again. Even more gratifying that I most likely have never gone if drinking (fun sober things always ruined drinking activities! LOL!) and if i had gone, no memories while spending all the cash on drinking.
I hope this inspires some folks here.

I can't participate, not sober nearly long enough. No need to delete the thread though. If its not being used it will just get buried for a little while, and then someone may unearth it, like a hidden treasure!!
