4. Thank you, Retrolounge!
I'm Critters, and I'm powerless over my emotions.

I preached a truly shitty sermon today. Really, just awful. And I know it's because I didn't put the time into it that I should have this past week. A few months ago, I really would've been down on myself about it. Thanks to the program--really--I'm able to admit it was bad, take responsiblity, and commit to trying harder this next week. The program teaches me to live one day at a time, and to admit my powerlessness and turn my weaknesses and problems over to my HP. I've thought these things and said them, but having to really work the program keeps all of this with me in a stronger, deeper way. I'm not knee-deep in self-punishment and recrimination as I would have been not long ago. And for this I am grateful.

Grateful I have a meeting tomorrow, too. And a wonderful sponsor.

And good friends on DU.

Now, I'm going to type up the next section of my step 1 work. Just getting this all down on paper helps, too.

Have a good day, Retro, and everyone!!

T'was great fun this morning watching Skinner play Whack-A-Mole with a persistent troll.

Four years ago, I wouldn't even have been awake on Sunday morning, let alone capable of laughing without having my head explode.

Life gets better.

8. I am KitchenWitch and I am an alcoholic.
Today has been a good day.

We have two new members of our family, names are Mouse and Reese. I figure they will be running the place by Tuesday.

Been sober for quite some time now, but that doesn't mean that I forget where I've come from.

Good to see you :pals:

10. My name is 1620rock and I'm an alcoholic. Today in Michigan
it is two degrees below zero with blowing snow, lake effect snow, and a wind chill of 25 degrees below zero.
It is a beautiful day because just for today, I am sober. :)

12. Well, it's Monday afternoon now-
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 07:53 PM by Kajsa
but I'm doing OK.

The sun is setting on a beautiful day, I'm hoping for
more rain ( I Love Rain) and feeling OK.

I'm glad to be among the living, sober and somewhat sane.

Thanks for asking, Retro.

Oh yeah- I'm Kajsa and I'm an alcoholic.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

16. Well it is almost Sunday morning again
I'm SPK and I'm an alcoholic...


and to be honest

I'm totally perplexed at the moment

thought I had figured out what to do with a certain situation in my life, and then it changed in an unexpected way, and I'm perplexed about how I feel about it.

I don't think I like it.

the most important questions are:

is it good for my recovery?

is it good for my self esteem?

is it good for me period?

Now do I have to answer those questions?

:hi:



:hug:

17. Hey SPK. I believe that the soundbites for this question might include
Give it to God...

Be well.
