Good Mornin',
I hope everyone is feeling well today and enjoying the weekend so far.
Sammy I hope your feeling a little better this morning I was thinking about you.
August it was nice chatting with you last night, your out look on life and recovery
is inspiring and I thankyou for sharing you views. Rachel it was nice finally getting to chat with you last night it was fun, thankyou. Teresa, your one of a kind and I enjoyed talking to you too. I know Gina enjoyed talking to ya' on the phone as well, thanks for sticking me alone with my kids and parents at the same time! lol just kidding. I was thinking if today is half as good as yesterday,
then yesterday was twice as good! lol Have a good day everyone, it's all good.
January 6th...From....Twenty-Four Hours A Day
Keeping clean and sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was my decision to give up drinking and drugging.
I am convinced that my whole life depends on not taking that first drink or drug.
Nothing in the world is as important to me as my own sobriety. Everyting I have, my whole life, depends on that one thing.
Can I afford to forget this, even for one minute?........."I Think Not"
Take care....................................God bless..........................................Bob

Good Morning Bob.... hope all is well in your world today.
I woke up feeling grateful. It has taken a very long time to get to that point. In the past, I woke up wanted to either die or kill something. Now I'm at peace, even on the bad days..
Thank you for being there..

Cowgirl,
Good mornin', glad your feeling well and doing good. I'm still so happy for ya' with making that 6 month mark. I remember you saying how hard it was for you
when you would hit that 30 day mark, and this time you were really worried about that, seems like yesterday. The time just flys by huh? I hope all your dealing with lately is going ok for ya' too. Things here are good. It's a rainy day today so were all just hangin' out and being lazy today. Kids are excited about
tomorrow being Halloween. The weather is supposed to be mild tomorrow night.
I hope so, the kids hate when they have to wear a coat over there costume. lol
Well, I hope you have a nice weekend, nice seeing ya'. ( so to speak )
Take care................................God bless........................................Bob

I remember..That's where I would sabotoge myself. At the 30 day mark.
It's cold and rainy here too. The wind blew so hard last night that the lights were flickering. Of course, my husband is gone fishing for 3 days so I was here alone! If it weren't for all 3 dogs on the bed and a gun under my pillow, I probably wouldn't have gotten any sleep... lol
I miss halloween with my kids... they're all too old for that now. Their idea of halloween now is a kegger...how sad is that?
Enjoy your kids, hang on them as tight as you can, they'll be gone before you know it. I hate this part of being a parent.
This weather is matching my mood this morning....a little melencholy.

Hi,
I wouldn't mind being on a fishing trip right now myself. I love fishing. Mostly for trout, there are a few good streams up the mountains I love to wade. I bass fish too from time to time.
Yeah, my oldest daughter is starting to get to the point where she'd rather go to a Halloween party than go trick or treating. And I might get lucky this year with my youngest buying the Santa Clause thing. But I know this is the last year for that. It's kind of sad, time goes so fast. They are both Daddy's little girls and I don't wanna let go but.. My oldest now calls me dad instead of daddy, I know shes growing up but it's still a little sad. But I'm proud of both of them, they do great in school, they are both really funny, they both are pretty mature for there ages..( 9 and 13 ) I guess I did something right, thank God. Gina is a great mom
without her they wouldn't be so well adjusted I'm sure. Sorry, kind of rambling
here. Catch ya' later, have a great day, relax and enjoy the quiet........*wink*
Take care.....................................God bless....................................Bob

Good Morning Bob,
Nice to read you post this morning after a hard night. My husband read what you and cowgirl wrote to his junkie post and responded, then went out to rake. I was checking on him to make sure he didn't pass out in the leaves and I told him about your love for fishing. He said he is celebrating 7 days next friday with a fishing trip. He is confident that he will make it and after last night I am starting to believe. His father is going to go out with him too. So his message to you is if you off work and your in NJ he goes out on charters in CapeMay.

Goodmorning, or afternoon now! lol,
I'm sorry I didn't get right back to ya', I went to lay down for a half hour. My eyes were heavy, I was up late last night and got up early today. Raking the yard is good, get some fresh air, thats great. I didn't do s--t the first few days.
I did manage to get to a meeting at night but thats it. N.J. huh, I'm in Philly.
I never went out on a charter boat before, my sponsor goes out for stripers alot.
I was never much for the shore. I love the mountains, a quiet stream where there are no people around. He sounds determined, thats great. If his desire to stay clean remains greater than the desire to use thats half the battle right there
But I do suggest a program of recovery. It really works, I don't know why, and I've stopped trying to anylize it but I had two years clean and sober, stopped making meetings, and stopped doing a few other things I should have been doing and relapsed. I'm taking suggestions these days, I stopped doing it my way and have almost 10 months again. In fact, it was a year ago today that I relapsed. Today would have been my three year mark. But the important thing is I have today. They say, "Meeting Makers Make It" and I believe that 100%.
But it's not just going to meetings, it also doing the things required in order for
us to succeed.
Anyway, have a great day.........Take care.............God bless................Bob

Bob:
It was fun talking with you guys too. I look forward to chatting again, soon. Thanks for the 24 hour a day post. I read that too. Or at least I try to. My morning meditation is lacking to say the least.
