Thanks advbike
Accountability: Doing well and thinking often about where I was and where I am now in life. I took so many wrong turns/poor decisions but I happy I am back on track. I had to regain faith,trust,confidence, compassion..etc for myself. I should actually say get vs regain. Sigh..But I am work in progress.
Be proud of yourself

Accountability: Doing well and keeping on my sober path. I have always been one to help others, even from a very young age. I would often go out of my way to help a stranger, heck the other day at Home Depot as Mr. A and I were heading to check out I saw this younger guy, well, younger than m, struggling to carry multiple items which he dropped a few times. I offered to help him and he smiled and said " gosh, that is very nice of you and admire you for asking, but I can get it." Mr. A was completely unaware. We were exiting the store at the same time and he smile at me and nodded his head. If I had been drinking I would not have been aware of my surroundings or I would have been but would not have been able to offer assist. What a waste..I want to be the helper that I am.
Engage with my surroundings

Alpine

Accountability: Doing well and continuing to grow on many levels and finding acceptance for myself and who I am. I obviously cannot change what happened in the past, but at least it is not a deterrent to my sober journey anymore. I would often be so darn depressed about everything that happened that that dark hole just got deeper and deeper. I know I still have to work hard with self forgiveness and compassion, but I am on the right path.
Never give up

What a gorgeous Winter photo, Alpine. Were you about to ski down that slope?

Alpine

Thanks Dee!

SoberLeigh, nope, Mr A and I were just backcountry skiing and were enjoying the view. Thanks for the kind words

I don't like the cold but there is something about snow that brings out the kid in ya. At least for me anyway.
Awesome pics!

Alpine

Fish, I agree. Several years ago while at work it was snowing pretty good and I was talking with a patient of mine and she mentioned she never made a snowman. So me being me got a few small buckets and brought some snow in and had her make a snowman on a tray table. So here is a 90 year old with the biggest smile on her face making it. Some people/upper management got upset with me and said it would make a mess. My answer was..It's only water and I will clean it up. Sure enough, not an issue at all, just a small wet spot on the carpet.
