Congratulations to all celebrating milestones today

Full day ahead. Starting with Bible study this morning and then meeting with a sponsee at the library for a few hours of step work. Lunch after that and then to transitional housing to pick up a sponsee and head to treatment center to participate in a life skills class facilitated by my spiritual mentor...topic "Who Am I?". We'll go back to transitional housing for sponsees mandatory Relapse Prevention meeting. Depending on how tired I am, I may stay for the speaker meeting they have there this evening. Looking forward to my "ME" day tomorrow. Wishing everyone a fantastic day!!
My jaw drops when I hear how jam-packed your days are.....
I have nothing but love and admiration for the way you have chosen to make recovery your life.

I was curious about the life-skills classes: thank you for elaborating. I haven't heard of this sort of thing before, and I am extremely interested to know if these type of classes are readily available across the US. Your friend sounds amazing.

So much love.....have a wonderful day dearest yukonm.

Mother was a little better and brighter today, which makes me feel better too. She’s got a lot of trouble still, but every day is a good day if it’s better than the last. I will keep praying and spending time with her and family when I’m not working or sleeping. Much to be grateful for.

I may get transferred back downtown. I used to work there 4 years ago and loved it. Then I got transferred to engineering during some organizational weirdness. I’ve been a total misfit here ... It’s a lovely downtown.. full of shops, lots of walking opportunities, restaurants and coffee places and not too much traffic . Trying not to get too excited or look for boxes yet. The e-team has not issued any sort of directive as yet. If it’s time it will happen. You’re the only ones I will tell.

Not only that, but it RAINED and dropped to 75 degrees. Haven’t seen that since June. All in all, a very good day.

Sending love and requesting 24 more,

V
Oh my gosh V......fingers and toes crossed.....I so hope you get this transfer. And very glad to hear that your mum showed some improvement. ANd huge hugs for my darling biscuit.

Want to finish it today. I'm really pleased with it. Just waiting new carpet ❤

24 more hours please 😊
I haven't done a feature colour since I was 11, when I asked my dad to paint my walls white, and my roof bright yellow. Then I painted my desk yellow, and got orange modular plastic shelves (70s) and painted all of the doorknobs chocolate brown.

Cream is fantastic....you can add anything you want colour-wise and it will look fabulous. s

Hey folks, 23.15 U.K. time and that’s bedtime.

Very grateful to see my name on the 24 hour list.

I’ve had a strange day, I’ve felt nervous, anxious and unsettled all day, like I’ve done something wrong and I’m waiting to get caught out (like when I was drinking).

I’ve been second guessing myself and generally feeling like I’m not good enough, everyone must be talking about me behind my back, the list goes on. Felt really small and insignificant.

Got to my meeting tonight, had supper and now I’m ready for some rest. I know that this will pass but I hate feeling this way. I miss my children and my ex partner so much too. Prone to randomly bursting into tears as well.

I’m very grateful for my sobriety today, and I know there’s no quick fix but these feelings are not easy to sit with.

Trying to stay positive, tomorrow is a new day and I don’t have to carry today over.

Wishing peace and love
James

James love ~ do you have a sponsor? I think you would like a sponsor.....my heart hurts for you....I don't want you to be in this much pain.....your self-esteem needs a big boost, and I am thinking the AA/NA folks are there to help you face to face....I know that feeling....what have I done wrong.....and then I did the steps and it helped me a great deal. Just my thoughts.

And you are awesome.
Goodnight dear James. s

Stay strong James. I sometimes feel like that too... Like I've done something wrong and everyone is talking about me. Actually, when I think about it, I used to feel like that all the time whereas it only happens occasionally now. So maybe it's one of the millions of things that get better with continued sobriety. These days I know that if I do something wrong, it's because I've made a mistake. And I can always apologise for mistakes and learn from them so it's all good. And if other people are talking about me? Well, that's none of my business! Hope tomorrow is a good day James.

I just read something that has shaken me to my core. For the first time ever, astronomers have found evidence of the existence of water on a potentially habitable planet!! This planet, that they've called K2-18b is orbiting a distant star but within 10 years they reckon new space telescopes will be able to determine whether K2-18b's atmosphere contains gases that could be produced by living organisms.

I have so many questions. If there is life on K2-18b, what will it be like? And how many other potentially habitable planets are there orbiting distant stars? Millions? Trillions? What if they're all parallel universes? Imagine if K2-18b is just like earth. I really hope parallel universe me is sober too. And why oh why is this exciting, newly-discovered, potentially habitable planet called K2-18b??? That looks like one of the algebra questions I used to try and fail to answer in maths lessons at school. Why such a dull name? I'd call it MoonMagic or StarChance or GalaxyMystery. Ok, so those names aren't very good but they're just off the top of my head. Anyway, I am so excited to hear about future developments of K2-18b. Seriously, they've got to change that name.

Hope everyone is ok, love to everyone and 24 more for me please xxxx
