Good Evening from SoCal Everyone! I am so grateful that here it is on a Friday night, the beginning of a holiday weekend no less, and I am clean and sober...this will be the third Labor Day holiday weekend that I have not used or drank ~ that is if I keep doing this thing just one day at a time it will be my third. I'm enjoying my new job and my old one too ~ I'm still working both areas, but it's only for another month. I go on a business trip next week, with a group of my peers and it should be a good opportunity to do a lot of networkng....and I don't have to plan my drinking around the trip and hide bottles, like I use to....I got off a bit early today and did some errands, went grocery shopping and am doing my laundry...waiting for my BF to come over and it is so nice because he is clean and sober too...and he got there thru the rooms of AA and his Higher Power just like I did...it's so nice to hang out with someone when there is no chaos, no drama, no insanity...I am truly blessed and sometimes I lose sight of that...the mere fact that I am clean and sober is nothing short of a miracle! A few of my friends have went out recently (decided to drink and leave the Program) and they are having a helluva time trying to get back, it's sad but it just validates for me that if you be alcoholic like me, it still not working out there. Just wanted to post some gratitude tonight. Thanks to my friends here who carry me through too, with honest, insightful posts regarding recovery and sobriety!

Thanks for the reply back...it's a beautiful morning here in SoCal...I'm finishing up the laundry and just watered the plants on the balcony...I will say hi to my sister for you, we plan to take a walk down to beach in a bit...we live very close to each other...which is so nice. You're right about the gratitude...last year when I represented my Company at this same event, I ended up burning out and getting sick, but I just carried thru, however I didn't stay thru the weekend and flew right back after the last meeting. Will see how it goes this year, one day at time, right? Have a great Sunday, I think it's Sunday evening where you are right now, maybe the middle of the night...
