Hey Toni, you were right. I am now a "veteran memeber" after only one week. Cool! What a nice way to feel a part of. Now I just have to figure out how to get a photo up and what it should be of ... hmmm, must get creative. This could take weeks :) I can't even get my emotion icons to work!
Had a nice day today. Went to the beach - big surprise, I know. A very spiritual place. I have been thinking about what Phil said about being just a ripple in the ocean. Nature is a big part of my concept of a HP so that works in just great with all my other metaphors.
Ladies group tonight - should be good. Lots of newcomers tend to come out to the "ladies only" group and they usually carry a very powerful message. There is great sobriety in this town. Have you guys lived in a lot of different cities while sober? Have you found there to be much difference in AA? I think it is a bit like McDonalds, no matter where you go it is pretty much the same. I take comfort in that. We are everywhere!
I love the beach too...it's my favorite place to catch some time with just me and my HP. Hope your Meeting goes well tonight...I used to frequent Ladie's Only Meetings-great Meetings!
I walked into a ladies only meeting once. Was kind of embarassing. They told me I could stay but I figured since I wasn't in a life or death situation at the time I should leave!
I've been on here for a few months and haven't been able to come up with an icon. Was thinking about my dog.
That means youve been through the war....and now you get a pension check every month...
Your first cheque is in the mail :)
Wait till you get to be an oldtimer eh?
You get to eat porridge with some of us...and play bingo...
We wake up at noon...just in time for our afternoon nap...
Life is great...lol
And meetings.....vs MacDonalds?
A bit more salt on the fries, in some...but basically ... the same...
Out in Redneck Country...in Cana Du..its a bit more personal..than in the big cities...but we have fewer meetings..and theres more travelling time involved...
But youre right...its great everywhere..
