Wow that was a really nice picture Stone, beautiful colors in the sky. Thanks for sharing it.

Welcome back Tanya, I don't belong to facebook So I won't get to see pics.

Good Morning Ro

Oh, by the way Stone, knowing its time for Step 4 is really good.

I know I am ready to move on with step when I am feeling stagnant in my recovery.

Back to looking for jobs today, full force ahead!!

I don't know if I shared this here, if I did already, sorry,

a friend who I knew last time I was in program was a lawyer, anyway, I ran into him a couple times since I'm back and in those 25 years, he has become a judge. Well, I ran into him on Friday at a meeting and he heard me discussing looking for work and that I went to that Atty's office. He told me to please use him as a reference with any jobs and wrote down his info on a piece of paper. I can't really see without my glasses, lol, and I didn't have glasses with me (of course not) got home the paper says He is a Superior Court Judge here in my County!!

How's that for a reference, wow, I couldn't believe that he offered himself as a reference.
Be Positive, because it works if you work it!!!!

I miss you Nel

Yeah, now lets see if something comes up to use it!!

Stone, every time I need go further in my recovery I know its time for another Step. Last time in program the furthest I went was Step 5, never went pass that. This time I know I have to work all of them. I am feeling a sense of relief lately because I really am incorporating the Steps in my life. It makes it so much easier to deal with things that normally would cause me so much anxiety.

Just sent in 2 resumes, fingers crossed Waiting to see if my husband brings me a check today, he was suppose to on Friday, but duh, never showed up.

Are you going to any meetings today Stone? I will be going at 12:30

Hi HOS enjoy the last day of vacation and we'll see you when you get home.

K yesterday's weather was playing games with me here, rain, sun, rain, thunder & lightning, then sun again (throwing my hands up right now) Scared the heck out of the puppy, she doesn't like thunder. Today is nice so far.

I woke up feeling fine this morning but after a few hours my head felt weird and so did my stomach, not pain exactly but very weird. Some kind of virus probably.

Bee, no meeting today, going tomorrow unless this weird virus goes much worse. I am hoping this is just a one day thing.

Just got in from meeting, don't know why but I'm very tired today. Could be the humidity and heat outside. I have air on, Lord knows I need it. I think I'm gonna do something I haven't done yet in sobriety, take a nap Well, I'm gonna try at least, just never can nap.

Hope you feel better Stone, we don't like weird viruses!!

Napping is one of my greatest pleasures today. Sad but true!

Hope you feel better, Paul, and that you don't continue to feel poorly. I hope you have connected with your sponsor or another in recovery today?

Tonight I will participate in a friend's 1 year. My close friend will be speaking - her very first time. I am excited for her - as she enters a new chapter in her recovery.

That, my friend, is a very good thing. For what it's worth, my whole first trip through the steps was guided by 'knowing' where I was in the steps. It was like I found myself in the middle of a certain step. My head was there before I was conciously even aware of it.

I'd tell my sponsor things like, "I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but that's where my head is." And off we'd go.

Good for you, stone.

Nice Avi Tanya

No nap for me, just can't do it, wish I could though. I always napped while using and I think I have this built in block in my head that says NO NAP.

Ro, that's awesome, 1 year chip, God willing one day at a time, I will be collecting one in September. I turned my old chips in to be used again.

Just got back from Step meeting, though tonight was Tradition Seven. I really enjoy hearing about the Traditions, I never even knew they existed the way I worked my program the last time.

Hope all of you are doing good tonight. Check in later

I just got back from birthday night meeting. I gave a girl a 1 year chip. What an honor!!

Next I'm going to dinner with some ladies in the program. It is one of their birthdays.

Do ya'll think my avi is offensive?? I think it's funny but don't wanna offend anyone.

Takes more than that to offend me Tanya. If you like it, then use it.
