Not Many On Tonight But I Love To Try To Figure Out The Handles
Mine is obvious but where did your's come from, and why? I took the first step which was to label myself, but what are we beside the label? I called a neice tonight, she had a bad thing happen but it was like "How are you?" Nice but I am not my disease. I pity partied most of the day today, like OK, give yourself permission to be a dick. Probably can't say that on SR. But if I have a point, maybe not, it was not to give into pity. I did want to booze tonight, gave myself so many reasons, than just thought, dang just contact people be human, so I am. Reading the threads helps but sometimes sad. But what the hey? It is 5:30 pm here and I did not go get the bottle. Every excuse but a reason. I know, Michael the rambler...

I came to AA 32 years ago, my life had crashed on take off. I stupidly followed suggestions and gullibly did what they did. And look what it got me ... A Life... with bells on!

My usual handle is the one i've been using everywhere since i was 16 (it's even my email address). I came up with DisplacedGRITS because GRITS stands for Girls Raised In The South (i'm from Alabama)and and i currently live in Wisconsin. ^_^

I was ashamed of the fact that I hadn't quit drinking while I was posting, when everyone else here seemed to be in recovery and had woken up. I was still in denial..so, StillSleeping.
Now I'm in recovery too but I like the name. It reminds me where I was when I got here, which is kind of humbling, and I like it when it's shortened to Still, for lots of reasons - still here, still sober, still laughing, still me.
Oh, plus, I am never, ever still. Even now, at the keyboard at 05:35 I'm jiggling around in my chair like a three-year-old full of Pepsi. Sit still, Still!
