Let's share Weekender Sept 11 until...
 

I don't know about you but I have a hard time sharing. Sharing on all levels not just the sharing done at meetings. Tangible sharing as well. The gift of giving and all that. I forget that I have anything to offer. I spent a lot of time drunk telling myself I have nothing to give. Who wants a drunk druggie?

What we share we strengthen.

There are subtle streams of thought and themes I identify with that make sharing hard. What does that mean? At my therapist this week... And I highly recommend having a therapist in recovery ... I went on about about why I keep getting invited to happy hours after work and I continually say no. How I think the person organizing is just playing office politics of which I happily bow out from. But he pointed out the only possible reason I get invited that I refused to believe.

"Maybe they like you and want to be around you outside work". Hmmmm.... Not possible I said. I have nothing to offer was my first thought. Now I know that's wrong but it was there under my nose without me seeing it.

I was not happy with that. Not at all. So this weekend I am going to spend some time considering how I can share. Maybe do a little conscious sharing. A kind word maybe. Who knows. But I want to make it fun trying to change that. This drunk wants to share.

Share love and we feel loved right?

So let's share ourselves this weekend and know you have something to offer as well!

*Ring Ring*

The sober bells of freedom are ringing for you!

Welcome to your sober weekend!

I'm on!

A wonderful message to bring to the weekend K - thank you! I like the idea of how giving can help us see better things in ourselves.

Letigo don't be intimidated just jump in whenever you feel as though you want or need to!

Good morning all and happy Thursday. That's a wonderful opening post K! I'm so guarded in my day to day life that it's silly. Not exactly sure why but it's true none the less.
Perhaps I will ponder it all as I'm working out (with earbuds in so no one will try to chat of course).

Speaking of that, it's gym time for me....chest and triceps today. My favorite. :)

Great to see you letitgo!!!

People often say the same thing. This and other big threads are hard to follow. But no worries. Just say hello. How are you doing. No matter the chatter. No matter if you change the topic. It's all good and should be fun.

Glad you are here! Have a fun sober weekend!

Ken

Thanks all going to clear out my inbox for the barrage of emails to come. It so cool seeing how different everyone spends there weekends.

I'm in. Love this topic, especially as I just woke up really early from a dream where I was literally running from everyone in my life! (i even had my jogging outfit on) :)

I'd love to join you for the weekend!

Count me in!

Great intro Ken. I'm definitely in for a happy sober weekend. I love when the fall starts to roll into town!

Happy Thursday everybody. One day closer to the weekend!

On the bus for another sober weekend!

Great topic. I'll be thinking about that.

I'm in. Great topic for the weekend. Sharing reminds me that it's not all about me and even the smallest simplest gesture can make a big difference to someone else.

Welcome letitgo! Just jump on and keep coming back.

Hi brighterdayz, pull up a seat.

In for the weekend!!!
:)

Aw!!!! That's a bit cute that it didn't occur to you they like you and they want to hang out after work <3

I'm the opposite, I overshare! Haha

Anyway, count me in for the weekend! I'm excited!

"first weekender thread for me" she shares with trepidation! Duhhh

I have a hard time seeing that I have value to anyone other than my daughter. And being told I don't on occassion doesn't help. Look forward to participating....
