Im at my meetings and out and about, and people have my home number so there is plenty of chances to meet. It works for me.Findonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029106119199508890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-91311020404599008572010-02-05T14:10:35.356-07:002010-02-05T14:10:35.356-07:00thank you for this post.

I do the extra stuff irrelevant of how I feel and right now I don't feel much of anything. I'm really apathetic and want to push everything away. But I still show up to the best of my ability. Oh well - still acting my way to right thinking.<br /><br />My sponsor tells me we are in the relationships we are in because God places us there to learn what we need to learn. Somedays, I wish there was a handbook so I knew which lesson I was working through.<br /><br />Hope you had a good Friday.wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-21436227415429006732010-02-05T09:05:43.215-07:002010-02-05T09:05:43.215-07:00Please tell me you took home the leftovers or fini...Please tell me you took home the leftovers or finished what was in the picture.

I agree that there are others out there who need you.

He has been trying to stay sober for at least 26 years. What a hell on earth. <br /><br />My sponsor says that I am not to work any harder than a sponsee. <br /><br />It's all a mystery to me. I am just grateful that today I have thanked my Higher Power for keeping me sober, because God knows I couldn't do it.Scott Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361224878660334532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-17546674847214935522010-02-05T04:00:37.272-07:002010-02-05T04:00:37.272-07:00I think a lot of the people that I see stay sober,...I think a lot of the people that I see stay sober, are not really alcoholics.
