It is nice to really talk about US.
Carol is a bleach woman lol. I had to cut back on the bleach because certain people i live with seem to find spots of it on all their clothes lol. How does that happen?? no matter how hard I try. Seriously I scrub everything with it and sometimes it even stings my eyes!!

What a nice idea for a thread! Thank you! Living sober...hmmm...I am finding a lot of negativity around me today, but I try to remember how blessed I am. Gratitude is a biggy for me. It helps to remember how godawful drinking was, before, during and after. So any obstacles (well, so far anyways) seem miniscule in comparison.
As for my HP, again gratitude is key for me. Even faced with adversity, I try to look at it that there is a lesson I need to learn in there somewhere. My job is to find it. Almost like there are cosmic clues being offered. In that way, I feel that I am working in harmony with my HP.
I never said I was sane

HI Believe, shaky girl was just in touch !!...........she is going to a meeting....hooray!! also another shaky girl asked me could I get her a big book (which is a big move for this shaky girl) So miracles happen all the time. Hubby came home a while ago and collected son and they both gone in to see nephew. Nephew in a lot of pain but in safe hands. I will collect him in the morning and be a nurse all day tomorrow.

That's good about shaky girl, Nel. I haven't heard from the newbie yet, thought I would see her today, but never got to meeting. My sponsee called here about 1 hr ago, she keeps making excuses why she can't get to meeting, said she has a fever and said her husband went searching through her closet yesterday thought she drank. I told her to feel better and call me later. I can only carry the message and offer my hand. I see that now. 
Its Fathers Day here sunday too, my dad has passed away. I told my kids they should be spending the day with their dad they said if he goes to the shore they are not going. I told them they should go whereever he wants to be on fathers day. I have to go buy cards for my Father in law from me and the kids and then mail them.

Just got back from my meeting, turned out great. I had to lead meeting since leader didn't show up, YAY we were suppose to be on Step 4, but group decided to do Step 3 and what a welcome that was. I have been having problems with self will lately. It always helps me when we read it outloud and everyone shares on it. I find I can listen to the words better. I was also reminded tonight of how I believe & have faith in God but now I have to TRUST GOD. I am feeling pretty good now, much better than before.
Hey where are you guys? No one is coming out to play tonight
