AF Daily Wednesday 30 April

Regarding resentments: They are my #1 enemy. They were behind much of my drinking. Part of my recovery has been writing down any resentments I still harbor & looking at my part in them. Yes, I have a part in just about all of my resentments. I'm not a victim, & I don't have to moan "poor me" all the time. I just have to stop doing my part & resentments do not come up as frequently. Anyhow, that's my 2 cents. Mary

Chief -- Mama and her baby ducks are a wonderful spring ritual -- thanks for sharing. It is those little moments that help us to sustain...

I am trying to holistically balance myself and find that I get overhelmed... I need to figure this out. I have terrible allergies and I think they are messing me up!

I hope to post more as a way to connect ... g'night

Hello Abbers,

I'm home from agility class and happy to not be throwing back a beer. What a waste of a good night's sleep that would be.

I had a fabulous day. I felt great all day, had a normal work day, no big stress. I'm thinking alot about changing what I do for work in about 5 yrs -- work less or do something different. My mind is soooo clear these days that I can now let myself think creatively and daydream about what's next.

I mostly felt a lot of gratitude today for the so many good things that have happened to me in my life.

Chief - I echo the other comments about the ducks. Sweet!

I have some comments for Tiny and Loppy, but it's passed my bedtime. I will post this weekend.

For now, I'm going to practice reflecting on the day from start to finish.

Hi, just got up and am hopping on to the end of the Thursday thread - Chief, I love the duck story too!

Yesterday was AF, and I'm grateful. I'm with Tiny on needing to be 'balanced', any suggestions for dealing with resentment would be more than welcome.

I know its late, but had to catch up a little.....Tiny great to "see" you!

One of the things that came up at my recent training session was the fact that young people are most definately drinking differently these days. As far as "contests" and beer bongs and that type of thing. Serious drinking to get drunk--hence the term binge drinking--which is so much more dangerous health wise. (short term anyway)

I really hope I get my busy life re-organized! I did 3 bookkeeping jobs, ran errands, put in a drip system, and helped my son with a mowing job. Then home to fix supper, and finish a load of laundry. How did I do all of this when I worked full-time??

I'm looking forward to the regional coalition meeting tomorrow. I really need to start thinking about getting my garden ready. The weather really hasn't warmed up enough to get too serious, but I have a lot of compost to put out. The sweet corn will be planted tomorrow! Good nite all!:h
