I know complaints come with the territory, but it is still an uneasy feeling. I figure the best thing I can do is listen, and if I made a mistake own up to it and make a plan to fix things moving forward.
I will feel much better about getting through my work day after the meeting, which is first thing in the morning.
My mom is supposed to be released from the hospital tomorrow because they are not able to increase her platelets, and they are not quite sure what to do. She will remain on certain medications, and others have been stopped because they were causing part if the problem. She will also be receiveing weekly infusions to see if that helps.
I'm concerned because her primary doctor has put her back on medications that other specialists took her off, and there seems to be a missing communication piece somewhere.
I hope everyone here had a great Sunday. I love and appreciate all of you!

Need to make this pledge badly
It's barely 11 am and the day is filled with dreadful anxiety and irritability.
It's this terrible feeling of one false move and I'm ready to just say screw it. My biggest concern is saying things I might regret because it seems my irritability level is set in ultra everything is wrong and dark and the world seems like a terrible place.
To make matters worse I'm in the healthcare field and I have people who need me to be strong positive and caring. Normally I am..or at least thought I was.
Right now all I feel is like I'm an awful person no matter what I do and feel a lack of energy to fight any of it. I fear I might do something wrong and hurt someone's feelings or even worse.
But yeah 24 hours would be nice. Thanks for listening. I know I'm not the only one doing this.

Maybe try some deep breathing every once in a while, if you can. Fresh air, if that's possible. A short walk during your break.
Anxiety seems to lessen for most, with time.
Here for you, dear one.

I'm grateful that I found a program in A.A. that could keep me sober. I'm grateful that A.A. has shown me the way to faith in a Higher Power, because the renewing of that faith has changed my way of life. And I've found a happiness and contentment that I had forgotten existed, by simply believing in God and trying to live the kind of a life that I know He wants me to live. As long as I stay grateful, I'll stay sober. Am I in a grateful frame of mind?
Meditation for the Day
God can work through you better when you are not hurrying. Go very slowly, very quietly, from one duty to the next, taking time to rest and pray between. Do not be too busy. Take everything in order. Venture often into the rest of God and you will find peace. All work that results from resting with God is good work. Claim the power to work miracles in human lives. Know that you can do many things through the Higher Power. Know that you can do good things through God who rests you and gives you strength. Partake regularly of rest and prayer.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may not be in too much of a hurry. I pray that I may take time out often to rest with God.
Please 24 more for this alcoholic that is grateful today.

ATTITUDE
A famous writer was in his study. He picked up his pen and began writing:
"Last year, my gallbladder was removed. I was stuck in bed due to this surgery for a long time.
The same year I reached the age of 60 and had to give up my favorite job. I had spent 30 years of my life with this publishing company.
The same year I experienced the death of my father.
In the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He had to stay in the hospital with a cast on his leg for several days. And, the destruction of the car was a second loss."
His concluding statement: "Alas! It was such a bad year!!"
When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking dejected, sad and lost in his thoughts She carefully and surreptitiously read what he had written, and silently left the room and came back shortly with another piece of paper on which she had written her summary of the year's events and placed it beside her husband's paper. When her husband saw that she had written something in response to his account of the year's events, he read:
"Last year I finally got rid of my gallbladder which had given me many years of pain.
I turned 60 with sound health and retired from my job.
Now I can utilize my time to write better and with more focus and peace.
The same year my father, at the age of 95 without depending on anyone and without any critical conditions, met his Creator.
The same year, God blessed my son with life. "My car was destroyed, but my son was alive and without permanent disability."
At the end she wrote: "This year was an immense blessing and it passed well!!"
MORAL:
In our daily lives we must see that it's not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.
There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
And attitude is the one thing that we always, in every circumstance, have control over.
