One Day At A Time
My home group in Neenah was TATAAM
a knock off for Tuesday and Thursday AA meetings.
Haven't been back there in a while, but it's been a group I literally feel at peace and at my home group.

Hi Undies 
It’s Wednesday morning here and it’s raining glorious rain!
I’ve a late start at work today so have allowed myself the luxury of staying in bed a bit longer this morning. Well going back to bed with a coffee actually

It's the only way to start a morning Willow ( says the retiree!) I keep meaning to ask what part of Aus you are, are you anywhere near the fires? Have you been affected at all? The pictures on U.K. tv have been horrendous.
Wisc, my 82 year old mum just stripped and re-papered the walls of her back bedroom. I guess that's where I get it from!
Hows it going FK?

Hey Undies!
Good start to the day.
The AA fellowship could be safety in numbers. We are not alone, not isolated by our drinking. Much needed relief, like rain, from shame and guilt.
Just a couple thoughts very early.
Time to be kind and helpful. --- Gregory

Wisc, it's always worth looking for support wherever you can find it, and where ever you feel comfortable.
I never felt I could walk into an AA meeting, I am naturally socially awkward - (drink always oiled the wheels) and I was deeply ashamed that I had allowed alcohol to take control of me, after leaving my first husband for the same reason. I guess the difference was he never wanted to admit his addiction, whereas I realised I was going to lose everyone and everything if I continued down the road I was on.
I do know though, that if SR hadn't provided enough support, I would have done whatever I needed - including AA meetings - to find my recovery groove and a sober way of living.
Yes FK, you are an Undie! In fact we are a pair of Undies!
( though actually I'm only an Undie by grace of wanting to maintain the thread, I've been an Over for quite some time now. You will notice other 'Overs' pop in from time to time to offer encouragement. ( don't ever, ever call them Overies, you will never hear the end of it!!
)

Hi dear Unders - so sorry to be late to the party. A week of being a bit unwell, boring home stuff to do and then a visit from my one time estranged brother. The last was a success I'm glad to say.
So pleased that everyone seems to be still doing well. The forest trip looks (looked?) truly lovely, Willow. If not too late, hug a tree for me too please. Glad you're not too close to the dreadful fires.
Also counting the days until I can claim to be an Over, FK. This is the year!
I agree about seeking support whoever you can, toots and Wisc. I've really 'only' used SR this far which I think is just the most extraordinary and brilliant resource ever and it's proved to be enough but if that changed I'd do whatever it took to keep the AV at bay.
Friday morning here. Wish everyone a good weekend.

Well done on 19 weeks Wisc! The time really does add up one day at a time.
Feel better Rose!
You are doing well fishkiller! It slowly gets a bit easier day by day. Believe it or not, you will actually get to a point where drinking is not a 24/7 mental obsession. Keep on building that sober toolbox.
Willow, I used to take a lot of walks in nature to help clear my head in early sobriety. There is a whole world around us that we never notice while actively using. I am glad you are north of the fires.
Have a good, safe and sober weekend all!

Hi Undies
Rose I’m glad things went well with your brother. I hope you’re feeling a bit better.
Congratulations on 19 weeks Wisc!
Thanks Stargazer, I’m off for a walk soon. I’m back home now, but the trees reminded me I have to get out in nature more often.
It’s Saturday morning here and I’m going to stop procrastinating and go for a walk
