I am board
I am board! I am not just board right now; I am board with this stage of my life.
I am not sure what to do about it. I sponsor women and I speak. I love my husband and I love our son but, it is just does not seem like enough. I want something to be interested in. ¶ 1/27/2008 06:58:00 PM 9 comments

Thinking Myself Into a Hole
I had a 24 hour bug yesterday and spent most of the day in bed. You know what they say, "an alcoholic by herself is in poor company."
Within just a few hours to I went from, "isn't this nice that I have the day to rest," to "everybody sucks." You know, everybody. My sponsor, my sponsees, my neighbors and most of all I just suck. Did I reach out to my A.A. sisters? No of course not I was too busy thinking about what was wrong with me and everyone else.
By last night however, I felt well enough to go to my home group. It is amazing what an hour in a meeting can do for my attitude. I went from thinking myself into a hole to feeling gratitude. ¶ 1/25/2008 08:56:00 AM 6 comments

More Conflict
Oh, the conflict rages on. My A.A. friend M.J. is on vacation. Hopefully, she will get laid a lot and be in a good mood to discuss the lease when she gets back.
Now however, the Cub Scout conflict has just snowball out of control. One mother is talking bad about the den leaders(my husband included) to whoever will listen. Geeze all this drama for a group of 8 and 9 year old boys who get together three times a month to play games and do crafts. ¶ 1/09/2008 08:48:00 AM 3 comments

Conflict
Ooooooooo, there is lots and lots of conflict in my world right now. I have family conflict, Cub Scout conflict and of course the ever-popular A.A. conflict. The A.A. conflict centers on a lease that we have to sign with the Recovery Club where we have our meetings. This year the lease is full of all these crazy threats that my friend M.J. thought up. Things like our group will be fined if someone parks in front of the sidewalk even though it’s not marked and perfectly legal to park there.
