Good morning Absters!
Wow yesterdays thread had so much great info it's hard to know where to start!
Congratulations to our newly AF folks Rudemama, Sante, Barola, MM and anyone else I might have missed. YOU CAN DO THIS. If you make sobriety your #1 priority, everything else in your life will either improve or at minimum get eaiser to manage. Sante I want to go sailing with you! MM - where are those date details! Also, how is it going with the pervert of a teacher??
Sheep it's good to see you come out of lurkdom and hello to anyone else lurking along with us! Sheep I appreciate you posting because I think it validates what we suspected - our words matter to all of us, but also beyond those who participate actively on the AF Daily threads. July and Chief, it is wonderful to see you both as well as any & all who are in that bit longer range of AF life. I sure like knowing what challenges as well as benefits lie ahead of me on the path. Chief I'm sorry to hear about the family health issues that continue. That is no fun. This is not a comment directed to you specifically - more just a general comment because I've been there too and I think many of us have. Why is that we ponder SO heavily the idea of going to an AA meeting just to check it out? (I did this for years - way before MWO even) If I were contemplating a new restaurant, and trying it out to see if I liked it, I wouldn't put a fraction of the energy into the decision to "try it" that I did before "trying" AA. It's just a meeting and nobody bites. I suspect AL was at work in my subconscious feeling QUITE threatened by the notion of what AA means to the future possibility of me drinking again. Oh our addicted minds. And to stay with the restaurant theme, finding the right AA meeting is sort of like finding a good steak. Lots of restaurants serve steak, but you might have to try a few different ones to find the steak you like the best.
R2C - If your husband is turning up bloody (injured) is it possible it might be time for rehab? I do think there comes a point where professional help is a good idea.
Cindi if you HAD to break your arm at least you did it having fun with G-kids! You are a trooper posting some with one hand! Hello to Greenie and AFM and Marshy and Mary and Narilly and LVT and peacenik and Dill and Deter and anyone else I missed from yesterday!
I'm still plugging away reading Detoxify or Die. Tomorrow morning is when I give all my samples to see just how toxic I am. What an adventure.
Mean time, I'm off in search of Greenie's Butternut Squash Soup recipe! Better make that before soup weather is totally done for the summer!
Have a great AF day all.
