Morning L 
Getting paid is wonderful, its a reminder of how well we are doing.
If I am an example of recovery and my program thats great
Going to phone my family and work out about sending loads of flowers for Dad's funeral, then do some housework and then out for a lovely Saturday.

Morning L
Hope your feeling better.
I am OK just posted this in the Not Quitting thread:
TamTam. I have discovered that I have not fallen into a big black hole, that I can gieve without beng in despair and misery and that is what its like, the grief comes and I stand in it but it does not consume me and it goes and I cary on with recovery/life and so I honour my dad and myself the family and all of us. My atitude has changed again for the better and my connection with my higher is much more constant.
Because of recovery I can do this, before recovery I would have used this as an excuse to move further into my disease.
Recovery really is a miracle, we simply do the drill each day and get so much in return.
Off to a AA New Years Eve Ball tonight with an OCM she is a blast.

Morning Kevin,
I am feeling a little better today ...Thank You.
Thanks for sharing the post Kevin.
I too seem to have learned the lesson at least for now that pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. It gives us an opportunity to see how much we have changed and to get closer to HP. When I remember this and am conscience of it I am not so resistant to pain or change or whatever the scary feeling of the moment is.
OK OK you got me again Kev.....what is an OCM????
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
Love you Bunches!

Morning Kevin,
Glad to see you here this morning.
I do that whole disassociation thing sometimes too. Especially in times of stress. It is better than it used to be.
What kind of counselor? Just curious.

Took today off as I felt a 3 day rest will help. Dad's funeral is on Monday.
The counsellor is a Drug and Alcohol Counsellor but she also has a lot of experience with grief. She is very good.
Thanks for mentioning the disassociation, glad its not just me going beserk
Have a great day L.

Morning Kevin,
I am glad you are finding ways to take care of yourself and so glad you have a counselor who is experienced in what you need right now.
I think disassociation is our brains way of protecting us from overload sometimes. I guess you just have to be careful with it because I know some people who go floating off at very inappropriate times. I recognize when it is happening now and stop myself. I make myself pay attention to what is happening.

Morning Kevin.
Hoping that you made it through yesterday ok.
Another day off for me today. I am going to try and get some things done that I haven't been able to do as the last two Mondays were holidays.
