(thought it would be uplifting to post the counterpart)
------someone asks you how you are and you say fine......AND MEAN IT!
------when you wake up each morning and say thank
God it's morning instead of good Gawwwdd it's morning
-------when little things begin to be fun
--------when the only scream you hear is on t.v.
--------when you find yourself smiling, and then later laughing at silly things.
--------when the only quack you hear is from a real live actual duck:chatter

When you call your GF you actually know who is going to answer the phone instead of wondering will it be Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde
When you call your Girlfriend and she actually answers the phone and doesn't "disappear" for three days at a time.

I HATED the holidays for 14 years, from Thanksgiving thru new years was a no holds barred drunkfest. Very high anxiety for a codie trying to control his A's drinking.
Not any more, got two invites so far from my family of choice, my Alanon family. There won't be any drunks there, at least not "active" ones!
Yes, joy.
Thanks and God bless us all,

When you get up and the covers are still on the bed...and you know that it really wasn't you all those nights tossing them off onto the floor.
When you wake up and the bed is dry.
When you wake up and don't step into the middle of a pile of broken glass in your bare feet.

---not married to the dip thing------roflmao!!!!!!!!!
lemme think here.....oh! i have one......you can do dishes when you want to, can vacuum when you want to, can do just about anything that you want to without that sick, hurry up to make someone else happy.....altho it doesn't....
when you can stretch out on the bed with a book and the tv on and think.....THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!! and you get intense pleasure out of it
just being out of the chaos is a miracle for us. everything becomes brand new again.
