Good Morning all.Its suppose to be a warm day here in NY.I feel good this morning.I'm taking a trip into my computer today.See I bought this as a BD present for myself in July & I've never had a desent computer9just a old donated one with windows 98 in it.Anyways there are so many things I still haven't discovered on here so I'm gonna explore.I'm sure I'll be around if anyone wants to chat.Until then take care & have a nice day.....mj
Hey Molly,
Warm here too and foggy and I still can't find the damn sun.I am going nuts without it........so dreary! Hope you are good....see you are up early. The hubby set the alarm wrong and it went off an hour before it needed to. So I have been up since 5...........
Hugs,
Tina

You are my sunshine miss tina I hope you have a great day!!!!!mj
Thanks MJ...I'm literally living "one day at a time" right now (aren't we all?). My recovery is my life, quite simply. I have 9 days clean, and yesterday went to a local treatment center for the 90 minute intake portion before I start IOP next Monday. What's been apparent to me for some time now, and was pretty much confirmed talking to the therapist yesterday, is that I have some issues to deal with.
Without going into all of the gory details, there are two key things I need to address:
1) I need to live an honest life - especially with my wife. She is a phenomenal person - my lifesaver! For example I'm always the guy who says "I'm okay, how are you feeling?" I stuff "stuff", good and bad. I avoid confrontation. Not healthy! To help in this area I'm a big fan of NA/AA. I have a long history and connection to folks in AA, and these guys don't care whether it's pills or alcohol. They are such a tremendous resource and all I have to do is reach out and they're there. I'm also seeing a counselor weekly, cuz I need professional insight and guidance to help behaviorally.
2) And I really miss not having a spiritual connection and presence in my life. Years ago I regularly attended a church where I felt so at home. I won't go into details other than to provide this link if anyone's curious: http://www.unityworldhq.org/ I just remember being at Sunday service and it being so peaceful and serene. So I'm going to give it another shot.
So anyway, sorry to drone on and on, but this is all fresh in my head and it feels really good to be headed in the right direction. But I also have to take baby steps right now - there is a lot of mending that needs to happen at home, so I'm willing to let life unfold as my HP sees fit. I need to take action, that's for sure, but I need to not fall back into old patterns either.
And this may sound corny, but besides the Serenity Prayer, I keep humming in my head the intro to Amazing Grace:
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
I love that song. Peace MJ;
Jim

hey MJ,
Glad to hear you're having a good day.Today is a whole week since any vics or oxy. I know a week is not a long time, but I can't remember the last time I went a week clean.
Have a good one,
