Congrats to the celebrants!
I spent five hours on a snowmobile yesterday. Went down some new trails and, saw a lot of beautiful winter landscapes. The important thing is that I was sober and, able to enjoy it.
Speaking of soup tonight’s supper is homemade minestrone soup.

So you're a soup maker?
Especially good after a day on the trails.

Surely, I should have learned some coping mechanisms?
Anyway, I am trying to influence the outcome by some jedi mind control. If I just think hard enough I'll get my own way.
I can't believe they are asking me to buy a car worth less than £1000. Can you even buy anything in America for less than $1000? On ebay all those cars are for spares.
Anyway, the funny thing was I went walking in the woods which is my way of coping, kind of a moving meditation, and it was dusk and I felt so free and I knew I would never be a slave again and I shouted at the top of my lungs and the sky turned pink and sirius was out and the moon was white and by the heavens it was beautiful. Then it got dark very quickly and it was quite hard to find my way out but that's another story.
Love to our milestoners and prayers for those running for freedom from alcohol

Tomato soup and moods,
children and walking
we share instead of brood
with stories and talking...well it rhymes...
Dels- I take the privilege of friendship very seriously. I have picked up perhaps 5 friends through the grind of a ecovery program and meetings. I make a conscious decision, that a friend is someone who tries, fights for life, shares and supports and does not give up. I probably support more than get- but that is not the point. One friend - a red headed girl, who is like kid sister..and has ALL of the steroe types one hears about red heads..thinks I am stoic and live a boring life. She appears when she is scared or hurt and needs assurance,but also listens and shares and makes me laugh. She has about a jillion facebook friend. I have 15 or so.
Plus the friends I have met at SR.

Back after a nightmare relapse
Hi everyone!
I’m on the way home from my Sunday morning “Spiritual Concepts” AA meeting. I truly love this meeting because it always has had good vibes in the past and didn’t fail me this time, which is the first I’ve been to since I’ve been “back”.
Since I’m not driving I thought I’d carry on in the positive spirit of recovery and reconnect to this forum which was so welcoming when I first came, even though I was sick in heart and mind let alone spirit.
I let the legal skirmish over my inheritance get to me and fell off the water wagon. And how! I was so broken to begin with that by the time the case was finished I was sitting in my living room drinking Bailey’s morning til night with no sense of victory only pointlessness and a sense that I’ve been had.
In the depths of my alcoholic depression I had the heartbreakingly stupid idea that having some ice to “break out” would be a good idea. It landed me in a psychiatric hospital where I was taken by ambulance with seizures. There I stayed for five hellish weeks most of which I spent in a blackout or wandering lost in the corridors of my mind. I’m very lucky to have found my way out again.
It is so true that for every bottom you hit there is a lower bottom waiting and as I found out most frighteningly can be bottomless.
So I’ll be checking in here daily as part of my toolkit for recovery. Thank you sober recovery for being there in my time of need.
