Cristina - here's a meditation to help. Exercise helps me. Getting out of my head. Can you go somewhere and do a good deed? Don't laugh, that really helps me. Load an old person's groceries, pay it forward at McDonald's? Anything. Love you. We're here.

B - Musuem? First 2 shifts were , well- boring. BUT I think I am acclimatising to humans. Humans whose every sentence is NOT focused on death or violence, drugs or dysfunction. THAT has become my normal. Yesterday was much better. I interacted with about 250 people. Engaged in talking to people, learnt stuff. My role is cloakroom - meet/greet. Hardly rocket science- but necessary, the first face visitors see. Beard and all.
0730 Stardate- Friday. Running mah meetin' later. A quiet one today...my plastc skin is reminding me that I am sore. Yesterday had counseling, musueum, big walking with the friend I am supporting, another walk and another support talkie with another friend.

PJ, good luck with your elbow device. Nice to see you actually got some response from your efforts.
Be good everyone - BBG, I am very hungry now

— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 88
I have more than enough to handle today, without dragging along yesterday's baggage too. I must balance today's books, if I am to have a chance tomorrow. So I ask myself if I have erred and how I can avoid repeating that particular behavior. Did I hurt anyone, did I help anyone, and why? Some of today is bound to spill over into tomorrow, but most of it need not if I make an honest daily inventory.

That sounds awesome, BBG....what time should we be over for dinner? 
Cristina have you visited the One Year and Under Thread? I read in there recently that it's common for the AV to make an appearance as you approach the one year mark. Here is the link if you (or anyone else) would like to check it out. Some pretty good stuff there! https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...part-59-a.html (One Year and Under Club Part 59)
I am home for the evening so I'll be around....day off tomorrow!

Sam, I had a Lara bar today. And I had some McDonalds
Hoping everyone is getting past their cravings, AV, whatever you like to call it. Bobbie, that's a great suggestion about doing something for someone else - I like that a lot. As Rocky says in "Rocky Balboa" - "It's good to give."
Watching a little football right now - nothing special going on - gotta try and get some extra sleep tonight. Thanks for being here today everyone - you make each day better for me.
