Thanks and no, I didn't.

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.

This is exactly my experience this time around . This is the second time I have done them....the first time (2 years ago) I hadn't really accepted step 1 or AA itself. I still stayed sober for 6 months afterwards though.
This time is a more meaningful experience.

Morning Stoney, How is that weird virus today?
That is exactly how I am working my program this time around, with the eyes of a newborn child. I am in awe how something so simple can and does work. I am grasping onto every aspect that those before me have used and continue to use to stay sober. I think that's why even the Traditions mean so much to me this time, without them there would be no AA as we know it.
I think I remember that you will be going to a Meeting today?

I'm here too.
I don't know what I wanna be when I grow up either, Tan.
Just settling in to the routine of another day at the office. I'm caught up for the moment.
No meeting tonight I got to bed late last night and slept poorly - tonight will be an early night. My gf did a wonderful job speaking last night - I heard a lot of gratitude, and it moved me to tears. She is such a terrific friend.
Hope y'all have a good day.

You are very lucky to have such a friend Ro, what gifts we are given in sobriety.
Tanya, at almost 55, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know I don't want to be the person I was 10 months ago.
Woo Hoo anything is possible as long as we're sober.

Well, I saw the counselor at the school. I still don't know what I wanna do. I have always wanted a degree but I think I would really enjoy getting my esthetician's license. I went to school for that in the late 80's and finished but I never got my state license.
What to do? I dunno. So I'm not to do anything. I'll pray on it.
Hope you're all doing well today.

Weird virus seems OK today, thanks Bee.
It's funny, the first time I went through the steps I saw it was a simple program but then I spent 18 months forgetting it was simple and complicating it, taking other's opinions on board too much etc, complicating the HP thing.
This time around I simplified the HP thing (like I did the first time) and it has all become quite simple again.
Someone in the meeting tonight said about themselves, "I am not a slow learner, I am quick forgetter", that's me too. I learn how to do the Program, do it and then forget what I learned and start getting muddled up and have to learn it again...what I forget is the simplicity.
I need to keep it simple!

So, I'll just say love to all.
No feeling well today. I missed my Alanon meeting...a lot of body aches and
fatigue, side effects of the cholestorol med..but I know it is helping me in the long
run.
I'll say what I did earlier later..it was good stuff...positive stuff.
Tan))))
Yep. Just pray on your plans....you will receive insight..in time.
: lol!
Love to all..until later.
And Nelcs, if you are reading...
