Class of October 2014 Part 33
Thanks for the kind words, Briar. There are times when that anxiety kicks in and some of my darkest fears come out. I have to stop myself from thinking such. Like sobriety I just have to take it a day at a time. We get to feel all this stuff now. The good and the bad I suppose.
I need my recovery program to deal with this stuff, sure I'm not a parent, and I can only imagine the stresses that come with that. But lots of scary stuff has come up for me, and I am finding that I lean more and more on my tools (very happily)....they are going to get me through everything, always.
Yeah, Suze. I'm not really worried about it anymore. It's become my new norm. I've learned to do all sorts of things now. Little tricks of the trade I suppose. The one thing that always applies and works though is don't ever drink. Nothing's ever worth drinking over. The more time that passes the more alien getting high becomes. Still not immune though and we're all just a drink away. Good to keep that in perspective.

Hi gang,
Leigh, you're missed here but seems as though you've got lots on your plate and in typical fashion have devoted yourself to the support of another. What a blessing you surely are to them and what a blessing of sobriety that you can do so.
Suze, your trip's getting so close! My sis is in SF and at this moment is en route to Muir Woods. Did Alcatraz yesterday, Yosemite before that, and they're having a blast. You will too.
I hope things are well with your busy schedule and the driving thing phoebe. Makes my head spin, but we now have only little one to be driven about and with my work most of that falls on my wife.
Just up from a nap. What!? Not typical for sure but haven't been home long from a colonoscopy..... Spent half this weekend "preparing" ! Now to schedule a general checkup.....haven't had one since 1998 but promised myself I'd follow through before November.
Yeah, I think I need some more nap.....Welcome to the 50s Mark!
Wishing each of you the best week.

Hi Mark love, I have a fair bit organised now...I'm pretty different than some people though (which you may have noticed ), not into the huge touristy things. I will go to Alcatraz though, and stick right in the middle of the tour group, and be the first back on the ferry, all the while thanking God that I never went to jail. And that I no longer operate my life on the edge of legality, waiting to be caught....
anyway....love and good morning guys. ♥

Way to get that taken care of Mark! I've heard the prep is the worst part. Good to hear you got some extra rest as well.
Big hugs your way, Briar.
And sending some to the whole crew as well.
I've got a pile of work to squash before bed tonight. Bleh
Need a smile?
