I was just folding laundry, being productive & quite happy cleaning up the messy & nasty house of my former life. Second day in a row of being SUPER productive -- I love it!

Well, the AV seems to be quite weaker and less persistent the last couple of days, ever since I decided & accepted that I have an allergy to alcohol and, thusly, don't drink. But, Gollum (what I call my AV), popped up in my head while I was folding laundry just now. Seemed a bit more hot to trot than he has been for a few days. I didn't like it one bit. So I told him to sod off!

Then, not 20 seconds later, a song comes up on Pandora that I only vaguely recognize, and I consider changing the station but can't because I'm too busy folding a shirt.

Then I realized what the song is -- it's a very sad song that we listened to, twice, for my alcohol education classes. It moved me a lot, because pictures of alcholism and its effects were greatly synched with the lyrics of the song. I had never heard the song before until those classes.

I immediately put Pandora on pause and came on here to write this. Right after a fairly strong AV temptation, and this song happens to come on?

Coincidence?
My HP at work???
Both?

Does it even matter? :)

Now I'm gonna go listen to it and fold some more laundry!

I think it was very serendipitous. They say when things like that happen, it means you're on the right path. Synchronicity in life or something like that. I love when those things happen. Keep up what you're doing!

I like to think there are NO coincidences. :)

When you are open to them, good things have a chance to come in.

Nothing is coincidence, IMO. Being sober allows us to actually see & feel our hp at work :) I love that you've named your av!
