All the local schools have canceled today's classes. I haven't heard whether I need to go to work or not. I was greatly insulted years ago (10) when I got a promotion and became "non-essential." Now I am thinking that is not such a bad thing. When it snows enough, I can be excused from coming to work. In my prior job, I had to get there. If I couldn't, they would come and get me.
But I must get to the 6:30 meeting where a beloved sponsee is celebrating 6 years of continuous sobriety. I think that is where I truly am "essential." And gratefully so.
What a wonderful thing it is to sponsor a woman who is a real alcoholic of the variety I understand. The hopeless variety. The kind that understands that she was beyond human aid. That she has been saved by the grace of a loving God.
I gotta go bundle up, get my shoveling arm ready, and get out of here.
Let's all stay sober today cuz in this organization, we are all essential.

YAY GOD! :) Have a wonderful (WARM) day!
Enjoy the day! It is not snowing here but every day is essential to me. Meeting a fellow I sponsor today as well. He has 27 years in AA and a couple of years in Al-Anon.
Congratulations to your friend -- and wrap up warmly
You ARE essential! (hugs)
What?? Your nice neighbor does not shovel snow for you?
Yes to the hopeless variety...it's the only sponsees that I can truly relate to.
Hope you made it to the meeting safely. I agree we are all essential.
