Hey guys, hope you're all doing okay today.....I didn't sleep well last night; having coffee with a lump in my throat. Good times!

Thanks again everyone for being here. I seriously don't know what I'd do without this group

Morning Purps

I didn't sleep poorly, but I just didn't sleep enough - stayed up a little too late

Tired is not good for me - probably my #1 trigger as it seems when I'm tired I also am more anxious which leads to self medicating. Planning on taking it slow, adding some additional food and hydration and hoping for a short nap at some point!

Have a great day everyone!!

Happiest of birthdays Bobbie! Thankful for you!

I think this time next year they will have officially adopted National Awesome Day! We should all sign a petition or something.

Happy birthday, Bobbie! And I think tonight is when you're speaking at your AA group, right? If so, good luck.

Thought for the Day


We're all looking for the power to overcome drinking. When we alcoholics come into A.A., our first question is: "How do I get the strength to quit?" At first it seems to us that we will never get the necessary strength. We see older members who have found the power we are looking for, but we don't know the process by which they got it. This necessary strength comes in many ways. Have I found all the strength I need?

Meditation for the Day


You cannot have a spiritual need that God cannot supply. Your fundamental need is a spiritual need, the need of power to live the good life. The best spiritual supply is received by you when you want it to pass on to other people. You get it largely by giving it away. God gives you strength as you pass it on to another person. That strength means increased health; increased health means more good work, and more good work means more people helped. And so it goes on, a constant supply to meet all spiritual needs.

Prayer for the Day


I pray that my every spiritual need will be supplied by God. I pray that I may use the power I receive to help others.

Hope you get to a better state today. It could be national nap day if you want. We can have a redo.
