Wednesday - What's New with You!
Wishing you a good outcome. . . where this time? Hopefully, it is someplace that is not hellishly warm. . .
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Eileen,
I'm crossing fingers, toes and hanging out some chickens (well in this heat, maybe no chickens, cause that would be rather smelly in a hurry) (lol)... that this will be a good opportunity for you and less stressful because it is non-newspaper. . .
Hugs, Laureen

Hi Laureen,
Congratulations on your long term sobriety. You are an inspiration to me. I am blessed with 18 months and a few days. While I have been in AA since 1989, I did not complete ALL of he 12 Steps till the past 18 months. I need to get more involved with service work now.
I overslept this morning, and then had to go in to work for a few hours. I love when I am working at the psych hospital, and feel so much saner when I help the patients. Today, I was only supposed to work till 12:30, so I made a commitment to help an AA friend who can't drive. Then, at the last minute, they gave me more work when I was getting ready to leave. I was unable to finish all they gave me, but the only thing I was unable to complete one patient's treatment plan update, which takes about 10 minutes. I would have stayed to complete it, except the patient had been taken down to lunch, and from lunch, they go to the enclosed courtyard for their cigarette breaks.
Then, it turns out the friend did not need that favor, so I was able to come home and get out of the long pants and knee highs and put shorts and a tank top on to cool off. Now, I am about to eat a late lunch, and watch the Phillies in a day game in Chicago.
Again, Happy AA Anniversary. Thank you for being such an encouragement to me, and others who may be lurking.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good afternoon everybody,
Laureen - a big hooray to you! 24 years of sobriety is an accomplishment to brag about.
Others - so many are going through rough times. I wish I could give you each a hug in person.
The other day I ran into a support group member who hasn't been to meetings in a couple of years. Her words have been haunting me. She said " You look good. Not so anorexic looking". The words keep entering my mind as "You gained weight and look FAT."
This is an ongoing issue for me. I feel fat and really don't want to eat. For a while my brain had a goal of 100 lbs. Notice it was my brain, not the doctor. The dietitian worked with me to put on some weight and hot damn, I didn't want to listen, but did anyway. Still don't like my size with those few more pounds. It is a daily struggle to stay healthy and not try to lose weight.
That's my deep dark secret of the day. the only one I'm going to tell today
Kisses
Annette
