Good for you for being sober.   I am going to a meeting after work.   I went to one last evening.

 

I am trying to be in a good place myself.   Life comes at us fast.   So very grateful for AA and for all the folks on this board.

 

Thanks for sharing.  I am going to keep it simple today.

I woke up this morn'n on this side of the dirt ... so my day is starting off pretty good ... LOL

Must help out my son today with his wheelchair, don't know how long this will take, and then must use my truck to get materials to build him a new 'ramp' to get into his house ... (his old ramp is starting to fall apart ... A friend donated his time and the materials to build it 5 years ago when my son first had his accident) ...

My prayer is that everyone have a safe and sober day ... Love ya ...

You guys are pathetic. Like, waking up is a big accomplishment.

i woke up at 4am, fed the horses. At 5, I cleaned the gutters of all the leaves. At 6, I made breakfast for my girl, brought it to her in bed. Then, I washed the dishes. I pressure washed the outside of the house at 7, and, while I had the machine out, I did my girls car. At 8, I went To my neighbors to fix  their car. At 9, I went to the local homeless shelter, and helped cook the meals for lunch. At 11, I saw somebody getting mugged by 2 thugs, so I did what anybody would do: I stopped the incident, then, gave the muggers my last $10, and gave them a ride to the grocery store. 

At noon, I went back to the homeless shelter to serve the lunch. At 1, I went to my part time job, worked till 6. I made it home to start cooking the deer meat from the hunt 2 days ago, just in in time for my girl getting home from work. at 8, I still had an hour of daylight left, so I plowed the fields for the last crop before winter. At 9, (I'm a fast plower), I fixed the washing machine, and did our laundry (multi-tasking by doing the dinner dishes at the same time). By 10, I was pretty tired, but I still had to clean the horse barn, and inseminate the cows. At 11, I got a call from the Fire Dept, (I'm a volunteer fireman), and had to go put out a house fire. Got back home at 1 am, gave the girl some loving, and fell asleep by at 3. Gotta get up at 4 to feed the horses.

All this, and I still managed somehow, to go to a meeting.

Ha, .... from what I've been through, and I won't bother listing them, I feel grateful to just wake up in the morning ... preferably, H1 ... on this side of the dirt ... the alternative doesn't sound too good just yet ... and I ain't Superman like Baba, LOL ... (Careful Baba, H1 takes a lot of things 'seriously' ... LOL) ...

H1, I have both. Girls, and cows. I'm not allowed to inseminate the girls, so, I inseminate the cows. Artificially, of course.

H1, at least you got the point of the story: no matter how busy you are, you can always maketime for a meeting. 

Now, I gotta go. I've got shit to do. There's a whole world of muggers, girls, and cows that need tending to.

And don't worry, Kaz...I won't come over and try to inseminate your cows. (Unless you get drunk, and pass out. All the more reason to stay sober.)
