Woohoo! The band's back together! Makes my heart happy. We need to hear from a certain goat too, I think.
Got in a short run, going to bed. The meeting was good. Different than what I'm used to. Getting out of my comfort zone means growing. Whatever - it sounded good.
Have a great day Aussies! Have sweet dreams sober people!

Oh and the Phillies won yesterday ~ my guy pitched over 5 innings & scored an RBI triple at bat! I can't believe I even know what that means!

Good morning!
Hi Casey, glad you are back with us!
Sam, 100 days, woohoo!
Rainy and dreary here today, but at least it's going to be warm. Need to do some grocery shopping and laundry. Fun, fun! Ah well, could be worse. Day 33.
Wishing you all a sober and wonderful day!

Day 5. Rhymes with alive. Which is a good thing to be.
I went to bed before 9:30 last night and slept all the way until after 7 this morning. Guess I needed it. Just finished a couple of morning meditations I'm trying to get in the habit of doing and now I'm staring at my coffee mug anticipating that first sip.
I'm not working any evening/night shifts anymore. Trying to lead a more "normal" life, whatever that means. So I have to be at work in a couple of hours. Definitely going to an AA meeting this evening. Best thing I heard at last night's was "If you don't stir that poop up, the smell won't last." Only the old redneck spouting this wisdom didn't use the word "poop" of course.
Thanks for the welcome back everyone. I'm not gonna drink today. I can speak from personal experience that it's still dumb.

Oh yeah, when I moved back to this town, I was able to move right back into my old duplex. Best news though--my neighbors with the loud kids and squawking in the morning birds moved out! I've never even seen and seldom hear my new neighbor since I've been back. Makes for much more relaxing mornings.
And I just made my first "Oops, I posted in the wrong March thread" post. I have a feeling that's going to be a frequent occurrence for me since I'm posting in two of them now.

Good morning!!!
Sam!!
BBG - cooking videos? You can't just drop that in so casually and not explain.
Purple- woohoo! Glad your crush came through for you.
LB Hope your day is awesome! 33 - what a very cool number!
PHX - had cuppa Naughty Vicar this morning. Tastes like a fruity Earl Grey. Do whatever you want with that information.
Casey - nice phrase you picked up at your mtg. Mine was about if you take away the higher power bit - what keeps you sober? Service work came up a lot. I totally agree with that. Hard to leave something you are taking care of.
Hope everyone has an incredibly awesome day!!!

There was a lady at a meeting the other day- 900,000 years sober. She said she used to get 'intoxicated at the thought of getting intoxicated'. Like the moment before the first drink- that anticipation of reward and release, was far better than the real thing. After that it was always second place catch up. That resonated with me.

Thought for the Day
When I came into A.A., I found men and women who had been through the same things I had been through. But now they were thinking more about how they could help others than they were about themselves. They were a lot more unselfish than I ever was. By coming to meetings and associating with them, I began to think a little less about myself and a little more about other people. I also learned that I didn't have to depend on myself alone to get out of the mess I was in. I could get a greater strength than my own. Am I now depending less on myself and more on God?
Meditation for the Day
You cannot help others unless you understand the person you are trying to help. To understand the problems and temptations of others, you must have been through them yourself. You must do all you can to understand others. You must study their backgrounds, their likes and dislikes, their reactions and their prejudices. When you see their weaknesses, do not confront the person with them. Share your own weaknesses, sins, and temptations and let other people find their own convictions.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may serve as a channel for God's power to come into the lives of others. I pray that I may try to understand them.

Morning class. Feeling really good today despite not wanting to get out of bed. A comfortable mattress equals good sleep, but also makes it hard to get up for this non-morning person. But now that I'm at work and my day is underway I feel fantastic. I'll catch up a little later. Good to see so many posts today already. The band is back together indeed. We just need a few who haven't checked in in a while to stop by!

Morning class, starting the day off healthy and trying to keep that mindset for the rest of the day. We are currently having a blizzard lol so I'm going to go drive around in a canyon to take pics. Spring time in Colorado sucks it's not very spring. How was everyone's Monday?
