hello my friends in recovery!!
sorry for my absence,
gotta a few minutes at the library computer so here i am
still sober! YAH
:)
providing i get through the next 8 days i'll have 4 months sober on the 10th.
my life is going forward in so many ways i can't begin to tell you in this short time. Got moved in to my new home and i simply am grateful and loving it!! I call it my 'Amazing Space'
i've been there now since just before new years. My oldest daughter who's 18 and her girlfriend moved in a month or so ago and all is well. Got to go to a roundup in saskatoon last weekend...was some down parts to that i won't get into but even more important was i got to visit my counsellor from a center i was in. been 3 years or so since i saw him and his wife who has kept in touch via email ever since.
Anyways hope you all have a sober day full of heartsmiles
this moment...right here...right now
i couldn't be happier. When i'm in this moment, not the future and not the past, its happier than i could describe. All because i give my will and my life to my HP everyday, and because of my friends in recovery that share their experience, strength and hope. Drink today?? not for all the money and gold in the world. Its simply not an option
love ya
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

Congrats on your up and coming four months! It's going to be a great day when you have reached it!

I loved your post and your enthusiasm for sobriety just shone through. You have got me thinking about just how good my life is now without alcohol in it and of all the things that I can now achieve that would have been impossible not that long ago. Thank you for that.

Take care,

Carol

Great to hear that you are doing so well Wendy!  There is certainly a bright light at the end of the immediate tunnel of sobriety for you by the sound of it!  Keep it up!  Love in recovery...Tim

Hi wendy,
I'm pretty new here to the board, so this is the first time I've read one of your postings. I just wanted to say congratulations on your sobriety and . . . second Carol's comment--Your enthusiasm about sobriety and where you are in life ROCKS!!! I felt energized just reading your post, feeling like "yeah! This is what it's about." Not drinking and instead dealing with life's problems. Sure there are downs and difficulties but that's life, right? And there are the positives that are happening simultaneously. Gotta remember those.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!
Laura

I read a great meditation yesterday bout each day being a beautiful room we get to enter, i like that. yup, this girls still a newborn!!
i joined our roundup committee for next year. Our theme is "Living In The Solution" I'm excited already! Just being part of...And keeping my sobriety number 1 today that is part of it for me. Unity, Service, Recovery. Meeting with my sponsor today, and looking forward to that to.
So i watched this dvd the other night called...The Secret...about the law of attraction. If you's get a chance to watch it it could very well change your life. Kind of along the lines of.... What i think about comes about...so if i see myself sober, successful and serene... :) and take that one step further, to thanking in advance for this i have no fear, nor worries.

So....on saturday i decided to take the greyhound to visit some family...only an hour away...kind of a spur of the moment thing...and thinking to myself that morning how grateful i am to have everything i need today...well...holy hanna....i got to drive..thats right...drive!! home :) :) :)
my dad bought me a car!!! i cried and jumped for joy. He works out of town and so i called to thank him and his words were...Well, Wendy...what ever it is you're doing seems to be working, so just keep doing it!!!
for the newercomers...don't drink, just for today, if i can do it, you can
love in recovery
Wendy
