One Step at a Time - July 2012

Hey everyone! I went to my meeting and although it was weird at first and I felt like a fish out of water everyone was really nice and made me feel very welcome. I didn't talk but I did get my white chip for being a newbie and being 12 days sober. There is another meeting tonight that is alot closer to my house and I was invited to attend so I am going to go. I am still trying to figure out this whole AA thing....I will keep everyone posted!

I just wanted to offer my sympathies to everyone who has lost loved ones, including pets, or even people we didn't know too well, on this thread & possibly elsewhere that I've recently read. Just have been thinking about all of you & have been reminded of all my own loved ones who've gone. Still more who aren't well & could be gone any day. It's so very difficult, so sad, yet a part of life to. Yet, it doesn't make the pain any easier!... I hope & pray that your hearts, minds & spirits will heal with time!...

God Bless You All,

Wildflowers :l

Yes, sometimes its so hard to cherish ea day, I got upset with my daughter the other day & here she is leaving on tue, felt bad, but I'm not perfect. I know I'm going to have a cry fest. Oh did I mention that I still have times that I think of drinkin, but I know that I'm a huge alkie & what would happen, so I just can't Nora. Not if I want to live. It's so feckin hot here. I need ta go rustle sumpon up for dinner, I completely forgot about it this am.

I should add my gram is 94 not well, my aunt has kidney prob, my mom has congestive heart, diabetic, very over weight, her blood work is bad, my brother is ill & so on. I'm thankful my hubs cancers haven't been the awful type & that he has a good job & we make ends meat. May try again & look for work this fall. It's all part of life... I try ta not get to down!... I don't like to talk about myself, or share too much!.. Kind what Mr. G is saying. Was thinkin of postin on his thread. But, then I get scared sometimes, then other times I don't give a shite what any one thinks.

Going go now, maybe visit site later. Take Care ( Hugs )

Oh - you're having the heat too? YUCK! I'm sitting in air conditioning at work right now. We haven't had the horrible heat that everyone else has been having.
Great job on not drinking. Really great. I want to get your mind set. Not there yet.

Hi Mama, Nora, Wildflowers,
My friend's calling hours are this afternoon, funeral tomorrow morning. I got out a did a couple of gardening projects earlier this morning. Skipped church because BIL was here, but now he has left. I'm not drinking, didn't drink yesterday. The evening before, BIL arrived and there was wine with dinner. Hubby said, "You don't want any I assume", I said "yes I do." Ugh.

Morning Steppers!

Sun - I'm thinking of you. :l I know that today & tomorrow are going to be very hard for you. Sending lots of prayers & good thoughts your way.
I know exactly what you mean about the wine. I do have to say that it's great that you stopped at that. That's a great big step in the right direction. I know that stress and depression are big triggers for me and that is wonderful that you see this and are staying sober. :l

Mama - sounds like a good time last night. Love times like those. Molten lava cake??? Wow! Send me some please.

Des - how are you doing? How was the other meeting? Hope that you enjoyed it.

Sunni - haven't seen you posting here lately. Guess I'm going to have to hunt you down. Love you Sunshine.

Well - guess I have to go do the horrible grocery shopping. YUCK! I do not like grocery shopping.

Back later! Have a wonderful day everyone.

Gee whiz, Mama! You must be exhausted. I did the dreadful grocery shopping. :H Paid bills last night & balanced the checkbook. Easy to balance when there's nothing in there. :H
I was going to go in to work today for a few hours but think I'm just going to be lazy. Been reading a letter from my Dad and reading my Kindle and going to crochet. Sounds like a fun day to me.
