Went to two AA meetings, drove a blind member to her destination after a meeting, had dinner with three other sober women members of AA, got to a Speaker meeting tonight....by doing positive action I actually feel pretty positive right now.

I prayed first thing this morning to make a spiritual connection with my HP, God...I got out of self & talked to another alcoholic and listened, really listened...I am smiling today even if things are trying...I laughed out loud at something funny a friend shared...I watched the rain clouds roll in and was amazed just at how beautiful clouds are...Life is good and today the best positive thing I can do for myself is to live it and enjoy it....xoxo

It's funny how that happens isn't it? Hope all is well with you, good job on chairin' that meeting!

Today I came home, got the few chores done that needed doing (without procrastinating) had supper and then instead of vegging I got absorbed in a project. (a nice work bench) The wood for this project has been sitting in my bedroom for 6 -7 years now. Lets see, over 2000 evenings of drinking and thinking I should "get around to it"
Quitting drinking was quite a shock to my system; I encountered a bit of PAWS and I wasn't used to being sober all the time. As time wore on I have gotten used to the sober thing but I usually have to force myself to do something. Often I don't. I don't seem to have much of an attention span. I tend to procrastinate and then worry about what I haven't done. Things that might happen also take up too much time and energy. Having an evening where I was totally absorbed in something I wanted to do was a nice step forward for me. Lets see what tomorrow brings... cause its one day at a time, Cookster This post has been edited by Cookster on November 6, 2007, 2:57 AM | ||

made it through the day sober. cooked a big chicken meatloaf to put in the freezer.
Had coffee with an AA friend nice to see somebody resurrect this thread. Was in a foul mood when i got online but reading these positive posts has calmed me down a bit. -------------------- Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

I called my mother and father in Vermont. First time since the trip up there in July and sharing news about my newly-found fellowship.

I went to work and put in a productive day, even worked OT. I went to Boxing class and did my chores when I got home and got ready for work for tomorrow.

Applied the principles of AA in other areas of my life that can interconnect with my addiction via my mind

Got up early and took my youngest daughter to her surf competition, went to Boxing with her, did my chores and errands, was of service at my 12:00 noon meeting, gave another member of AA a ride home, visited with my Mom and her husband, chatted with my Sponsor...now I am enjoying a quiet evening at home, filled with gratitude.
