Morning Miners,
So true Lushly I like that old saying around AA; You don't have to wait for the elevator to hit the basement before you decide to get off, or just simple put you can get off the elevator at any floor.
You said it CatFry my thoughts exactly. I know when I was out there I thought about stuff like that, but I wasn't going to go to prison for 10 or so years. Plus my ex had done that when he was loaded on coke and wanting more. When he went to court he got 10 years in a Fedral Prison so I knew the consequences were a bit to much for me to handle. Plus I was always scared something might go wrong and I might end up hurting some poor innocent person.
Have a great day guys and gals

I don't yet have pc internet or employment. My knee is not as swollen as it was Sunday evening & my sponsor lent me a cane (fear of falling) so I got to home group meeting Wednesday. I can walk & am bending with some minimal pain. I will be using my flashlight for night walking!
I hope you are all well!

Morning Miners,
CD love that posting on FB I used to say that a lot.
SB hope your knee feels better soon. I am in the same boat when it comes to the unemployment except with me it has been going on for much, much, to long!!
Hope everyone has a sane & sober Sunday.

Evening all, hope everyone is well.
Had really hoped for a better new year, but so far it's shaping up to be on par with the last. In addition to losing the clutch in my daily driver last week, I had the pleasure of the exg/f's company for a couple of nights when she was "unable" = unwilling to try to make it home due to snow and frustrating doesn't even begin to describe it. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that we're able to get along after the break up, but I can't help feeling as tho I'm being taken advantage of and unsure how to proceed without being a total dick about it.
Anyways, feels better just to type it out & to know that someone is out there.
End of whine session, good night.

Concor you exgf is still in your life because the lessons are not done yet. Just remember to keep your sobriety first. I lost mine for a night and I still feel like a hamster on a wheel. I just don't give a Sh**t most days, but I really do, if ya know what I mean. 
.
This year has to be better... for you Con because you are in recovery.
hugs to all Lushly

Heard this in a meeting yesterday,"I didn't receive God's love in spite of my shortcomings, but because of them." Incredibly powerful statement for me. Things are changing for me, the shame that has dominated me for so long is losing it's hold. I tried to speak about it at a meeting today, and was speechless, on the verge of tears. I never thought this kind of peace and serenity was possible, considering the events of my childhood. I always thought it would be my stigmata, my mark of suffering. I honestly believe it too, shall pass. The promises are coming true for me, and it is wonderful. I am convinced I am on the right path with my recovery work, AA is doing it's job, and therapy is picking up the pieces of my past. I need to remain focused and balanced, to remain open and willing, and to let the love flow freely through me. I can't hold it in, and I don't want to hide from it any longer. I want to feel it, and give it away. Have a great day guys.

After today, I think her staying here during the snow was one last test to gauge my interest in salvaging the relationship. I say this because only a week later she informs me via text that she's dating a guy from her work.
As I see it, she kept me on the line until she safely had another on the hook. Sucks, but then again most things do.
Guess if there were a silver lining to it all, she's someone else's problem now. :-)

Amen to that.

Just had a good friend slip a couple of days ago. I haven't talked to her yet, but she did send me a text that she had an off night. Hard to blame her since she is going through chemo for her breast cancer, and has to isolate because of a weakened immune system. I just want her to be secure in the knowledge that I'm there for her no matter what. Hope you all are having a good one.
