Just wish to say Doll....whatever happens tomorrow..IT WILL BE OK....count on it...


If I had maybe.... had the hell scared out of me..when I was 14 or 15..I wouldnt have had to spend over 24 months of my life..on the inside looking out..wondering to myself....what happened and how did I get here..


When reality set in....I knew how I got there...I broke the law...its that simple...


And with the crap I pulled in my younger days...I should "still be" on the inside ...looking out..There is a God...


And yes..everything happens for a reason...and your both in my prayers..also..


-----------------


I just wanted to share something with you guys...


Been spending a lot of time on Stop lately due to health...and most of that time has been spent in bed..


.Hopefully in a couple of weeks...things will turn around...health stuff..chemo stuff..no fun..


This too shall pass...not ready to bite the bullet yet..Got people to do..and things to see.(smile)


At 6ish tonight..Im in bed...shakin..shiverin..and rockin and rollin..and you think hangovers are bad...Sheeeett!!! lol


A guy knocks on the door..walks in..yells my name..and reponds to my "Im up here..come on up"


A guy thats been sober 7300 days...comes to see how Im doin...and heres the clicker..


He had got pissed off at the world..at 10 this morning...went to the store...bought 2 40s...drank em..


and here he is..at the end of my bed..asking me..how Im doin..


I get my ass out of bed...we go to a meeting..we both fall asleep..half way through the meeting..but WE got there..


To make a long story shorter..he is now home in bed..and Im heading there..once more..also


The difference is? Im sober..hes not...


Thats just how easy it is...


Theres something Im trying to share here... Im just trying to figure out what it is...:)


Im here cause Im not all there..


This too shall pass...


Have a good night....Love

Thanks, Phil, my friend. You too are always in my prayers.... May you stop shivering and shaking, but never stop rockin' ~ n ~ rollin'  Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I got 2 things from your share; 1) any one of us can fall at any time


Thud


but we can always pick ourselves back up and your friend was trying to do just that by extending his hand to you.....


 


and 2) it's always a great reminder  when someone drinks again, that I desire to stay sober one more day


Thank You


Take care of you.........Love and lots of hugs.....

Hey Phil, I just said a prayer for you my friend.We've just got to keep on keeping on.


I was suppose to go to the Dr. in the city today, but just as I was getting ready to leave, my Mom fell, so we spent hours in the ER again. She has a nasty bump on the back of her head...so I'm on "the wake her up ever two hour watch" tonight.The CT didn't show anything serious, but you never know. Soooo, add us to the prayer list too.


Thank God I'm living life on lifes terms one day at a time and doing it all sober.


(((Hugs)))

Phil, I've been wondering what's going on with you. Sorry to hear it is a relapse of the cancer and that you are undergoing more chemo. It seems that you are always trying to help everybody and that it is harder for you to share your real self with us. I'm glad you did here though. I'll put you on my prayer list today in a special way. Since my appendectomy I've been doing a ministry at that  hospital, which includes doing an hour of intercessory prayer for the sick. I'll be there starting at noon today, my time. See? you even got up out of the bed and dragged yourself to a meeting to help that guy, and he did get to a meeting.


God bless you, 'easy does it',


amanda

Bonjour..zzzzzz


I guess ...Amanda..the most important thing in my life..on a daily basis..is striving for emotional balance..through the program...and things I hafta do to keep sane and breathin.:)..some days are better than others..normal for most of us...


Still healing from a divorce..and other stuff..I wont go into...


Still having the odd flare up from Leukemia...which is nothing more than..trying to do too much..so a couple of times...over the last few months..someone up there..just puts me on stop...and says "Whoa Horsey"...throws me a few pills..and says "Rest Stupid"


Single Father...one boy on his own..in a big city..doing great and 15 months sober..at 23..


Two girls at home...one is 22..and working 2 jobs..the other is 16..and has one more year before college..


DCM over 27 groups..that takes in 6400 square miles...keeps one hoppin with paperwork..and travel..


Have had a taxi business in a small town in Ontario for 20 years..3 cars..4 drivers..all in AA


Sold part off it a few months ago..the rest is gone in 17 months...still managing it all...


Hitting at least 2 meetings a week..


Days are full...


Moving to the USA ..where its warmer...eventually...


Taking a month this Spring and taking a rebuilt continental..and getting out of town..


Going on a slow tour and seeing Rick..Benny..John..Doll...and anyone else thats between New York State..and the Carolinas..and maybe go on to Texas...and California...leaving that one upstairs...


Have a place..wele call "The Getaway" lined up down there...where one can go to 3 meetings a day...


My responsibility to AA? well.. as long as Im twitchin and breathin..I will give what I can.. back..in any way I can...to others..


Some days..that might only be..setting an example..and staying sober..or truckin them to meetings..but thats just the way it is..


I was into the ME ME ME thing for too much of my life..


I guess thats my story Amanda..and Im stickin to it.:)


God will take care of the rest..all I hafta do is my best..


Now..go back to sleep..I am...(smile)..and ya'll have a good day..
