HEY ALL,TED HERE ALCOHOLIC/ADDICT. :bigeyes2:
YEP,30 DAYS AGO I CAME OUT OF A TWO WEEK BINGE THAT ALL MOST DID ME IN.

EMOTIONALLY I WAS SPENT.
THE TORTURE I PUT MYSELF THROUGH
WAS SO AGONIZING.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING MAD.
I STOPPED DRINKING AND HUMBLY ASKED FOR HELP.
HERE I SIT NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THAT PERSON I WAS NOT SO LONG AGO.
I DON'T EVER WANT TO FORGET HOW FULL OF DISPAIR I WAS.
I'VE BEEN DOING ALOT OF AA MEETINGS,GOT A SPONSOR,
STARTED WORKING THE STEPS WITH MY SPONSOR,
AND SHARE WITH ALL YOU GREAT PEOPLE HERE AT SR.
I PRAY TO MY H/P TO HELP ME LIVE IN RECOVERY,
AND THANK HIM FOR ALL THAT I'M BLESSED WITH.
I'M VERY HAPPY TODAY,I LOVE YOU ALL.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!....ted :banana: :banana:

Hey Ted, happy sober birthday. I'm so glad you're a part of our Sober Recovery family.
Hugs,
Gabe

Thanks for coming Back Ted.

Hey Ted,

IT'S FRIDAY!YEEE HAAA :banana: :banana: :banana:

GOOD MORNING ALL,TED HERE ALCOHOLIC/ADDICT :tired: :duh:
PRETTY MELLOW WEEKEND HERE,BEEN RAINING ALOT.
KINDA GLOOMY YA KNOW.
I'VE BEEN DOING MY MEETINGS/STEP WORK,RELAXING.
GREAT DISCUSSION ABOUT CONTROL LAST NIGHT.
ALL I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR ARE MY THOUGHTS AND HOW I CHOOSE TO ACT ON THEM.
I'M TRYING NOT TO JUST REACT AUTOMATICLY,
BUT TO THINK THROUGH MY THOUGHTS AND REACT IN A WAY THAT WOULN'T HARM ME OR OTHERS.
THAT DOES TAKE SOME WORK.
ALL THOSE YEARS OF DRINKING AND DRUGGING NUMBED ME TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF OF MY ACTIONS???
OR MAYBE I WAS SO SELF ABSORBED THAT I DIDN'T CARE UNTIL IT CAUSED ME GRIEF.
I'M SELFISH YA KNOW,WHAT DO YOU HAVE AND HOW CAN I GET IT?
I'VE ALOT OF TWISTED THINKING TO LOOK AT.
BUT TODAY I'M ACKNOWLEDGING MY FAULTS AND ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THEM.
MOST ARE POINTED OUT TO ME BY OTHERS WHO CAN SEE THROUGH MY BULLSHI+.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR AN OPEN MIND TODAY,WITHOUT THAT I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD BE ABLE TO CHANGE MUCH!
THANKS FOR LISTENING,I LOVE YOU ALL.
BE SAFE AND SOBER TODAY................................ted :approve:

Good morning Ted,
It's so nice to hear how much you are growing. That part on control, thanks for sharing. I seem to forget that sometimes. I just always wanted to be in control before, and where did it get me? I should say what, because it caused lonliness and pain. Today is a new day, though! I also keep an open mind and try not to get offended when others point things out to me, bursting my " I'm perfect" bubble. LOL. You have a great day, too, Ted. I'm off to church, then time with the kids this afternoon!
