Does anyone know where Duff is? Is she traveling or on spring break with her kiddos yet? It seems like a little while since I have seen her post.

Gilmer

Thanks, North! It didn't--I sabotaged myself. I can be so gullible! I upset myself for no earthly reason.

What happened Gilmer love?
Do you want to talk about it?

Gilmer

Nah. Just some talk on another thread. Nothing earthshattering. Thanks anyway.

It has gotten crazy hot again here too Marcher....going to be 31+ today, and we have gale-force winds. Not so much fun.

I love what you said about well being your default state in sobriety.
That is what I'm striving for...I will be well.

North ~ I am very mindful of how blessed I am that I did not end up in jail.
I so easily could have. For so many reasons. And I would never have done the things I did if I wasn't smoking grass or drinking. Never.

I think I know how these guys feel. I may not have ever physically harmed anyone, but I did a lot of illegal stuff. A lot of bad stuff. I am glad you are there working with them.

Gilmer

Yeah! Where IS Duff?

Maybe she is off playing golf? Or as 1Day said away with her family? Maybe Duff will hear us calling her?

Venus: It is so good to have you posting today. I really miss the energy you bring to SR when you are away. I haven't PM'd you b/c I know you have a lot on your plate and did not want to overwhelm you, but please know...anytime at all, if you want or need to, PM me. Well, that also goes for all Marcher's. BTW: I just finished watching the movie, "This is Where I Leave You"... I borrowed it from the library. It was a really cute movie, with a few twists thrown in. I think you had recommended it a while back to someone else. I also wanted to let you know that I got stuck watching Shameless in that I started with the British version, then switched to the US version, and now cannot decide which one to continue with.

I just wanted to post that today is my 2 year anniversary of getting clean from pain pills and I am pretty sure it is two years today(give or take a day) that I joined SR. I read the substance abuse threads these days, and realize how blessed I was to get clean when I did b/c I had about 4 or 5 buddies getting clean from pills all at the same time. Joygirl joined about a week or two after me, just to give you an example of the support I found there. I truly felt such a bond with those friends, although I haven't seen any of them post for quite some time now. I am glad I found the stable Marchers soon after I joined and am so grateful our thread remains active!

Oh, I am so glad you like the movie 1Day. I LOVED it. And Shameless is my absolute favourite show.

And thank you re the PM thing.... huge hugs. I am overwhelmed, but having half a day for me today. It is really nice.

And.....



on 2 years clean. That is phenomenal!!! ♥♥

1day, congrats on two years!! Woohoo!

Venus, thinking about you sweetie. Glad you had a day off.

I'm a little nervous and gotta get my beauty sleep lol so I can't stay. I'm in an educational network of sorts, and I got invited (yesterday) to speak at the meeting of the principals in this rather large urban school district. Yikes!!! But I'll get some sleep, get up tomorrow groggy and nervous but clearheaded. Hopefully, I'll make a good impression and it will help. Did I mention I'm nervous?

Sending love and wishing you luck wehav....you will rock this. i know you will.

1DAY

Gilmer

Thank you, Dee.

CONGRATULATIONS, ON 2 YEARS, 1DAY!!

WeHav, from what I gather, you have acquired a lot of knowledge and expertise over the years. What an honor to be chosen to speak! I'm sure they will be an eager and receptive audience. The flip side of nerves is adrenaline! Go knock 'em dead!

Gilmer

Wehav in my early teaching days an older colleague gave me a great tip for these situations: face the audience, breath deeply, then imagine all of them sitting there in their underwear.

Guaranteed: It puts a smile on your face and warmth in your tone.
