Bye dear Bee! 
lol
Dear LIS peeps..
Happy Sober Sunday!
Special hugs to Sis (Ro) about your daughter contacting you...I hope this is the
start of great things to come...
Ken..
You have been cracking me up...well, all of you, really.
I have enjoyed reading over the thread.
:ghug2: to all.
But..to Ken..
Oh, I was really triggered by the guy who is using the wife's bipolar against her.
I have this disorder. See, my ex felt the same way..basically, that it didn't
really exist..and that I wasn't "clean and sober" taking my meds.
He was on SR for awhile telling folks how "sick" I was ...and was finally banned.
That sure does not sit right right with me...something sinister might me afoot
with this guy...tread lightly. You have a good head on your shoulders, Ken,
though..I am sure you will know what to do. You are a pretty cool guy in my
book!
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers about my mother.
I sat on the sofa, in between meetings..frozen up with fear...just watching her.
Hardly functioning myself...then (duh)...called my sponsor.
She helped me to see that the change and outlook must come not from my
circumstances (although God can change them)..but within myself.
That I had to stop bargaining with God, to stop asking for more time..to drop
the guilt that I wasn't "doing enough"...and, to "lose the fear."
Wow...I was "in my head" so much I didn't even realize I (was) doing all that.
So, I am different today.
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
I said it before..but I didn't feel it. I didn't trust it.
Now I do.
My mom has an HP..and I'm not Him..
Thank God.
Have a great evening folks.
Love you all.
