I volunteered up at the Marathon again today. One of these years, I hope to meet a fellow member of SR up at the 185. I figure with the Rose Bowl Football game and the Rose Parade it's bound to happen. Just have to be patient.
Well, it is time to check in for my next 24. And A Happy New Years Eve to both those near & far!

Those of you that have known me for a while know I have a brother who has struggled with drugs for many years, the most recent incident was a DUI about a year ago due to pot, thankfully nobody was hurt. He had his final court date mid December and pleaded guilty and was given fines and is on probation. This is his second DUI so he hasn't been able to drive for the past year, and it will be at least another before he can again.
One of the conditions of his probation is that he goes to an AA meeting once a week. When he has been ordered to go to counseling in the past he has looked for the easy way out, and has often found someone who would say he is coming and testing weekly, even though he wasn't.
He went to his first meeting yesterday with the father of one of his friends who will have 19 years sobriety pretty soon, and he actually went, listened, and felt like he got something out of it. We talked for a while tonight, and he admitted that he has lied many times in the past about using when he said he wasn't (we knew for the most part that he was lying, but it really was second nature to him). He also said he is Planning on going to 3 meetings a week with the neighbor, and is really going to take this seriously. He said he is going to stop feeling sorry for himself, and that he is to blame for the situation. He is in nobody else. There is also a little drama between him and his girlfriend, and he said right now he needs to focus on getting himself straightened out, he will continue to be there for his kids, but he's not going to worry about ten drama.
I truly think it is the most mature conversation I have ever had with him, and I am really proud of him and excited for where he is mentally right now. He actually quoted the first step to me, and although I do not attend AA, I have been to a few meetings in the past and I am familiar with the steps.
Just wanted to share the beginning of what I hope is a great recovery story.

Morning All My Tribe Around The World.
Thank you D for a nice new thread for a nice new year
Weav in for 24 rather special hours at 9:02am. I'm not going to drink no matter what happens ~ it never ends well for people like me.
Sober and peaceful prayers being said for everyone on our list, in my very mild little home in the British Isles, warmed by the gulf stream. Thinking about those in minus temperatures. Stay warm guys.
It was 10C / 50F here at 7am.
I feel today is the day I finally understand time zones. Not long now, Australia! Get those fireworks ready.

That sounds like a very positive conversation, Delilah. I wish your brother all the strength in the world for his journey. Big milestone for you tomorrow isn't it? So exciting
Hosted a New Years Eve eve party last night. Everyone (apart from me, the dog and the kids) drank alcohol but no one drank like I used to... now I don't hang out with my drinking buddies anymore I rarely see people drinking like I used to. So lovely to be present in every conversation, remember every conversation and feel absolutely fine this morning. The only creature with regret this morning is the dog.... he's looking a bit sorry for himself... I think maybe he jumped up at the buffet table last night and ate something he shouldn't. .... if the smells emanating from his direction are anything to go by
Feeling a little sad to say goodbye to 2017. It's been one of the most difficult years of my life... the year I finally confronted my demons but it's also been one of the most awesome .... the year I finally confronted my demons. I feel like all the hard work of 2017 has paved the way for endless possibilities in 2018... and every year after that.
Congrats to the milestoners and happy new year everyone. 24 more hours for me please xxxx
