I've Been Happy
Posted On 07/09/2008 17:10:46 by OfficeGoddess

I haven't been online much in the past month - just on and off real quick to catch up on other's blogs. I haven't had time to make comments on other's pages or blogs.

I am still sober and clean. I celebrated my 6-months last Thursday and received my chip at AA. Next month I'll be ready to commit to Secetary one AA meeting during the week.

I've been attending SMART Recovery and LifeRing meetings. I enjoy the cross talk and immeidate feedback in these meetings, than the "no cross talk" in AA.

I, also, still have my Wednesday Group commitment.

During "my time" I have been researching the family tree on ancestry.com. It's been awesome at giving me something to do instead of vegitating in front of the TV.

Now I feel more capable of doing something for myself, and my family. The thought of using has diminished.

It is definitely still not easy! It is one day at time, prayer, meditation, work, meetings and/or research. The weekends are spent with family - as it should be. I have been enjoying my grandchildren on the weekends. They make me glow!

House cleaning has become simple - amazing what happens when you clean up after self, instead of letting the dishes sit in the sink for weeks on end (whe I was using): easier to clean the mess, less time to clean...

A six month reflection? Such lifestyle change, I don't even know who i was 6-months ago!

I enjoy the support of all my support groups. Including this site. I am thankful for all who remember me and post a comment! Please - keep coming back!

Always Keep It Simple.

Peace!

Congatulations on 6 mos.!  

Glad you will be active in AA

The wonderful thing about meeting is how it teaches us to focus on the present.

(and a million other things on diff. levels) As far as getting feedback

we learn how to reach out, when to reach out -(and who to take certain issues & questions to-)

If you have a pressing issue, sponsors are great for that- Nia

Congrats on the half year. Isn't it amazing what six months will do? An interesting exercise is to write out how you feel (about all sorts of things) at milestones like this, then read it again six months or a year later. Gets to be an eye opener...
Glad to see you doing well,
Dennis

Glad to see you back! Congradulations on the 6 months! I'm coming up on a birthday myself (18 months)  Would of never thought it was possible, but it's been well worth the journey! Take care, and God Bless!
