I just got my na literature in the mail today. I ordered the na book, the aa big book and the na step working guides. I started over on my first step now that I have the guides. I've just been working on that for the last hour or so.
I'm pretty much just relaxing right now. Enjoying being sober. I went back to work this week after a two year absence. It feels good to be working again. I remember now what it is like to come home after work and just relax and not feel guilty about it. it's nice.
My mom is cooking chicken and it smells amazing I'm getting my senses back again.
What is everyone else up to today?
How is everyone doing?
I'm excited about the online meeting tonight. I hope people are going to be going. :)
Just got up from a nap having a cup of coffee to wake up.
I worked this morning and lately just been worn out, working weekends for the last several weeks so when I get a chance at a nap I take it.
I took a drive out of town this morning been having to travel about 45 minutes from home but its ok I love the scenery along the way, mostly rural area with mountains and some streams.
I stopped yesterday morning at a stream got out of my truck and just checked out the water, I could smell the river water and see the bottom of the fast running stream, I had my fishing pole but decided against fishing and just enjoyed the view. Then after I got done with work I took an adventure drive, just to see where the river went and ended up seeing some really nice areas, an old cemetary a very large on at that had no idea it was down the road from this small quaint town I drive thru to get to work.
I still have work to do today some stuff i'm working on my own but hope to make the online wmeeting this evening , the first one we had I was able to make and it was great just 3 of us chatting away about a topic, please try to make it once things get flowing it's as if you are right there in a room with the people there.
And the women are very powerful carrying the message, My sister has 10 years in the program sponsors many women and she was on her knees when she came to NA she is a strong women today her life has changed so much I cannot tell you how much.
Great to read the posts on this thread. Yupper, your day sounds serene and exciting, BigV. I'm also a Nature and Wildlife enthusiast. I like to explore too...
Wish I could do some serious soul-searching with the help of the literature and the steps, like Michelle is doing today. Just not been able to get a paper and pen, sit and write, from somedays now.
Yesterday was my wife's 11 years clean milestone, and since her biological birthday is also next week or so, I took her out for shopping, and asked her to pick what she likes, that I would pay for it, since I'm very poor at selecting gifts for my lady and surprising her
Then we both made the f2f meeting where she got to express her gratitude and also got her 11 Years medal.
Today, I am not feeling ok at all since I woke up. Those familiar body aches (in my shoulders, back and knees) seem to have come back again, since I stopped taking care of my Hep C problem lately. Feel such fatigue as if I have worked non-stop for the last 10 days or so... So I decided to relax and chill out, do some online recovery... and probably watch a movie in the evening with my wifey... Also thinkin' of lots of chocolate and icecream to go with...
Suddenly thoughts of a Sponsee who has relapsed and since been avoiding me crept into my mind, and I messaged him, wishing him a good day, and telling him that I was thinking of him...

got home from work , ate, went got my schedule for work next week, chilled somemore, ate dinner, studied for my contractors licnese exam for an hour, chilled somemore LOL, did some NA text book reading, now i'm chillin again getting ready to call it a night.
Doing more step work. Looking over my step one step work. I can feel my old way of thinking still lingering in the back of my head. Ugg its annoying. I guess it's good that I recognize it though.
Michelle, your posts constantly remind me of what I'm not doing, trying to escape from a few days... my Stepwork... apathy and pracrastination, the two deadly demons inside are having their dance... lol...
So true, the gift and ability to identify what's going wrong in our head when it does is a great tool for us in our recovery...
