Doing well, all things considered.

I wrote up a huge praise/gratitude list last night and lost it somewhere in my computer.  As a result, I am going to have to put together a new one.  I had 17 things I saw God do in my surgery experience yesterday, and I was hoping to share it with everyone. 

When I look to God,
instead of my situations, I see His hand taking care of me in the little details that mean so much.  I had total peace all day yesterday, even prior to my surgery.  It was a God thing for sure.

I am not having any difficulty with my pain meds at this point.  I call my AA sponsor to let her know when I take it, that helps me stay accountable.

She might be able to drive me to a meeting tonight, as I can't drive till tomorrow.  I had general anasthesia yesterday, so driving is out of the question till tomorrow, and whenever I take my med.

Have a great day.

Hugs,
Trish

Trish,
I may need the same surgery - is it really painful?  How long do you plan to stay out of work?  Anyway, congrats on your 30+ days and your accountability with the pain meds.  I may have had a problem with alcohol, but not with pain meds - they all make me sicker than a dog.  I would make a lousy drug addict!  I did make a lousy drunk too - at the end I was constantly sick.  Glad to be 8 months sober yesterday.
