Dear Bunny, Deal!
Listen only way you losing me as friend, is if you drop the mike and peace out on me. I know we in different places. If you tell us where you at, I sure we try as best as Island of Misfit Drunks can, to supports you. I not saying it gonna be high quality Robot level support, but, you know, maybe level of like a smart vacuum cleaner.
SR, I can kind of understands. Even though my madness is a bleak, vacant, detach kind of madness, sometime that dark emptiness is SO LOUD, I think I go insane.
Well now, look at us, I think we just have some rather mature processing of differences. And speaking of minds, without losing respect. I think Oprah be proud! Maybe even Iyanla, though she pretty hard to please unless you break down sobbing into her bosoms.
Okay, now, is you ready for some football!! ...no? ...just me? Go Cardinals!

Glad your Raiders won Della...my Atlanta Falcons won too.... (probably because they played the Cowboys and Tony Romo is hurt and didn't play!)
Cow's Cardinals are leading SF right now as well.

I follow Iyala on Twitter. I like her too.
I totally agree with what's been mentioned, my sobriety is about living in the moment. Acceptance of what is, not stuffing life into a bottle.
Doing things that bring me peace and calm, and not surrounding myself with distractions (booze or spending too much time with barfly friends.). This is hard for me, I am working on getting out into the world more.....
We all have to find the way that is right for us.

courage2,
i've been thinking about your post from yesterday. feeling it, is more accurate. can't read if i'm understanding it right, but it spoke to me of longing for deeper connection, and i thought how aptly you had chosen your name here.
it takes courage to ask for this kind of stuff.
or to ask for anything, at times. it implies a lack of sorts, and that can be tough to admit to. shouldn't be so, but....and then there's the risk of nothing coming back that was hoped for.
i can't see your reaching out this way as misplaced.
and i wish i had responded to your post yesterday, since it found such reception inside me. but i feel this place here is not conducive to slow, careful, thoughtful conversation. too many people and it all moves too fast and so often no real back and forth which would encourage deeper sharing. that's MY sense of these threads. they remind me of AA meetings in that way, where people share about themselves but because there's no crosstalk, there is no interaction. i see PM's like the get-togethers after the meetings, where one can get to know others more intimately.
this is MY issue, and may be nothing like what anyone else experiences. and i do keep in mind that my first four years ever of forum experiences were in a very intimate setting, with never more that about 25 people at a time, and maybe a couple of newcomers per week.
oops, gone off on a tangent.

Cow and Misfit Dunks,
Sticking with the positive theme of the thread, heads up that I watched Cow on Real Time with Bill Maher and Cow sat on Jane Goodall's lap and Jane had to fight Bill off, who wanted to kidnap Cow. No ****.
I don't know about you, but for me, sitting on Dame Goodall's lap and having her fight for me is right up there with kissing a Beatle, so I am now officially a Cow groupie. You go girl.
Very very cool. You gotta check it out,
