Class of March 2016 part 58
Hey everyone. Home from work and feeling sleepy. Making garlic roasted broccoli for dinner and I am pretty excited about it (sad I know)
PJ - great job sticking to the soda. Even if it wasn't a consideration it's was still a milestone. ❤️
It is a little like a ghost town in here. Feels so weird especially because we used to be pretty big blabber mouths. If you're out there and reading please check in. We need one another.
Well a quiet night ahead and an early bedtime.
Grateful to be sober.

Quiet here- but strong. BBG- hope all good. Cristina- adoptee's are good value- fresh perspective. Sam- I hope yr 'daches stay away and work is bearable.
HELLO B- if your are looking in. Hi to everybodies- Casey youse too.
0715 Friday. Long w/end- the Queens b-day I think (again). Rainy. 17C today. Some parts of Q-land topped 40C a few days ago. To put that into perspective..it is 4 weeks into spring. 40C is a temp expected in Feb- at the peak of summer. Was very tired after the art launch- crashed for a nana nap at 2030. Woke up at 2230 thinking it was the next morning. Then slep another 6 hours from 0030. 2 national sport grand finals this w/end...both involving feet and balls. Loony people about- there is a very old concert venue- an old theatre here- where last night a young man (I suspect chemically enhanced0 decided to crowd surf- by jumping from a balcony, 4 m to the ground. All the people who saw him decided not to be his landing site and moved. He hit the floor. Was d/c from hospital- a very lucky, stupid boy.
Counseling at 0800, then run my friday topic meeting. I am gonna crank it up a bit and use the topic happiness. Alcies do sad well- but not happy so much so.
May the force be with you.

Hello my friends ~ We may need to start the roll call chant!
"The Breakup" was on earlier & figured I'd at least make fun of it.....couldn't take it anymore.....it was really stressing me out ~ all they did was argue and scream at eachother.....it's nice when all you have to do to end a fight is turn the TV off
I am now in my 'quiet bubble'....think I'll make my SR rounds and maybe some more reading up on meditation w/ sleepytime tea.....
It's so nice to have you guys here!

CHANGED my brain mind. Spirituality- not happiness. I see a lot of people excuse away meetings because 'god' is mentioned. It is not about that concept. It is about doing anything on offer- to get and stay sober. The 'it is not for me'..or 'they are all too clicky' does not work- for me. It is finding problems- not solutions and working back.
Thanks Dee. Stupid weather..'they' should do something about it.
Hi 13th!
Just finished my 'spiritual' topic meeting. A lot of people always thank me- as if I am responsible for the group dynamic..nope..the members do that. Often get our North across the pond cousins at this meeting. I liked one guy- he said it is being an empty vessel..willing to learn, from whatever.

Morning!!
PJ - your weather is so weird. Lol. How can it be so hot when it is so cold here now.?? Also I hope the weather stays hot or cold....what else is there to make awkward conversation about in the elevator at work??
Thirteenth - hi!!
Kiki - I agree with you....this class is a group of my most favorite people
Purplrks - I'm off tomorrow and I am hoping for some time in my own quiet bubble. Hope you have a good day.
Well I'm off. Kinda dragging but my eyes are open so that might fool anyone into thinking I'm awake. Going to stop at Starbucks on my way and refuel.
Looking forward to a peaceful, sober weekend. How about you?

Good morning everyone. Checking in on Friday morning with a full schedule ahead.
Hot in Aus, but getting cooler here. The furnace guy stops by this morning to get things cleaned up and ready for winter.
It's Fall though! Yesterday was utterly perfect here. Even mowing the lawn felt good, and that's saying something.
PJ it's interesting how we alcoholics can spot each other. No more of that though, and congrats on your exhibit!
Make it a good day everyone. See you back here soon and sober! Check in, recommit, reinvent.

PJ - I love your topic choice. Happiness is hard when you feel undeserving and man does alcohol ever reinforce that false fact. Some days I have to consciously choose to be happy but more and more often it's just happening naturally.

Hello Dahlings, I am back in my bubble......tv turned off, healing therapeutic background music on youtube.....checking in around SR & doing a little "spa-renity" + Chakra
Up early in the morning for work but I'll be around!

Yo- march crew. s'up? Word. On point.
Saturday morning. Quiet. The national sport 9well for half the country_ Aussie footy has its grand final in Melbourne. Some people have camped outside the gates for 4 days to get seats. So my little city will be quiet- as all the diehards have left- en mass. There will be a lot of badly abused TV's tonight. The city will be rockin' to ol' man Lionel-R.. in concert..all night l-o-n-g. I go to the Rainbow meeting Saturdays- although I am b/w..a person who needs support picks me up. This meeting is probably the most accepting and energised I go to- apart from the VERY raw meeting I run in the city where many new and transient people go.
