Was feeling good all day up until I got to my meeting. Talked with one of the old-timers and got a huge reality check. Kind of gained a new perspective on meetings and how to view things. All I know right now is that I'm in spiritual pain. All this stuff on my mind and it's all crap I can't do anything about. Feel like righting every swear word I know down in this post 'cause that's my thought pattern right now. Another day of sobriety. Going to a 4th step workshop with my sponsor next Saturday. I will be so glad when that is over with. I've got a couple relatives coming Monday and I'm thinking more about when they leave than what I can do to gain a relationship with my grandfather and uncle. Boy is my thinking screwy right now. I'm going off to sleepy land. I'm exhausted. Good night all and have a good weekend.

"Easy Does it.....Pardner...:)


Its like breakin in a wild horse...


Instead of fighting it...its easier...just to go with it...and hang on..


After a while itll quit buckin..and calm down..


And another bit to share with yu?


My mind is like a dark unknown cave...with monsters lurking in it...


I try to never go there alone...some days they throw big parties in there eh...


I tried a hand grenade...but all I got was a small "bang" and smoke porin out both ears..


Some days are better than others..

Hi justin,

Just a thought came to mind, and have to say this is something I only ever consider,
AFTER THE FACT, but the saying is "No Pain..........No Gain"

I can already hear you screaming back at me, haha!

Still your friend,

Toni

Justin - I am kind of going through the same stuff at the moment - just to let you know that you are not alone in this. 


Phil - are you sure you are not confusing your monster bash with thinking really, really hard?  ROFLAO
