Sam's Pinewood Derby Update
Sam competed in the regional Pinewood Derby runoff on Saturday. Sam ended up competing against seventeen other Cub Scouts from neighboring towns in his age classification. These boys all had to be in first place in their pack's classification to compete. Sam did not win but, he had fun and seemed to take it all in stride.

Prayers for Sam
If you pray, would you mind sending one up for Sam. He is just having a terrible year in school and cannot seem to catch a break. I know that God is in the details but, I just cannot see that right now.

Sobriety Birthday
Through the grace of God and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, I have not found it necessary to take a drink since April 5, 1990.
That makes it seventeen years today that I have been continually sober. Of course I was only ten at the time(-: ¶ 4/05/2007 12:09:00 AM 29 comments

Renting Space in My Head
Somebody in The Program is bugging me. And, to make matters worse, I am letting her rent space in my head.
As some of you know my friend Candy and I started a Women’s Big Book meeting last November. Candy has been in Florida for the last few months. Since Candy left, it has mostly been me and a bunch of newcomers.
A few weeks ago, a woman I never meet before, showed up. I was happy to see her because she has something like twenty five years of sobriety. That was the last time I was happy to see her. According to her we are doing almost everything wrong. She lets us know about all the wrong we are doing by cross talking.
I know that it is Principles Before Personalities. I know I should pray for her, I know, I know, I know. But right now, I would rather just spend time disliking her. ¶ 4/02/2007 01:09:00 AM 15 comments
