It is still dark outside. My sponsor and her husband are downstairs in the guest bedroom, still sleeping. I am going to sneak out of here in a minute and take a bike ride and run. It is going to be a huge day - with lots of huge eating - and I want to have a good workout as the start to my day.
Yesterday my sponsor and I sat trying to figure out all the people and places and things (and food) they have planned for their 3 day stay - she ended up with her daytimer, and I had my palm, plugging in all these things... trying to figure out how it can all be crammed into a couple of days. It should be fun.
Tonight I celebrate my 23rd birthday (again) at a speakers meeting that I used to go to when I was newly sober. My friend DD will be celebrating 13 (I think) years with me. I signed their calendar months ago, and if I had it to do today, I probably wouldn't do it. Oh well. It will be a nice evening for a bunch of us.
I got to spend a lot of time talking with my sponsor yesterday and it was truly wonderful. She is such a blessing in my life. She has been my sponsor since I was 11 years sober. Before then, I had a series of sponsors and some horrific experiences with them. I am glad I stayed sober and kept trying until I found Maureen!

OH MC, it all sounds like such fun. You're going to be that "good kind of tired" when they leave...with great memories!! I happy your birthday is turning out to be such a festival. PS..it's 26lbs in 2 months not 3, and yes...it's time to stop.
We are truely blessed, those of us who find and cling to our recovery.
Have a super day.

I think embrace is a more suitable way to explain how I feel about soberiety
