Where you be, SKG? I've been buried at work and I finally get to spend a few minutes here but can't find a post from you today...I look forward to reading your ESH and been spoiled lately with you posting the Daily Reflections on line...
Check in, my friend...
Maybe you're hanging out with my BFF, 12stepper somewhere as I haven't heard much from her today either.....hmmmmmm <beg>

Hey, 24G!
Well, all I can say is that I HAVE been yabberin' on reg-you-lar-like, but I had a little hitch in muh git-along. Work has interfered with my average 1.3 posts per...
I've been riding off others' ESH a bit--kinda keeping a low profile, you know, don't wanna come off as a ZEALOT or anything... LOL
I'm here--just letting it breathe a bit.

All I can say is work sucks. But the worst of it seems to be over. BFF, did I tell you we have lost about 10 ppl to relapse in the past month? No, make it 7. This disease sucks. Only two have made it back so far.

Is a zealot like an AA Nazi?? Just wondering, cause that's what my BFF calls me sometimes, or an AA freak...LOL
I personally love to read your words, your wisdom, your ESH...it helps this alkie stay sober....you're coming up on another milestone soon, aren't you SKG?
Ahhh, Miss Katbird...
This disease kills, takes no prisoners and most of all, cunning, baffling, powerful.
You're not going to have many left at the rate they're dropping. So, can I ask you a question? Did they have gratitude before they went back out?
I've seen way toooo many go out in the short period I've been in the program, in fact, there's only a couple left that came in around the same time as me. We also have the chronic relapsers and I notice with most of them, the anger and self-pity, self-centeredness before they leave to go experiment, yet again. It is an awesome reminder for me, kind of like my HP, God reminding me to stay in gratitude, stay in action and stay in the solution....
Did you lose anyone especially close to you?
Smooches to both of you...

BFF, they can't even SPELL gratitude before they go back out. They just forget where they came from. But when they're out of money this place starts looking pretty swell.
Hi, you two. Kat, you crack me up--oops, can't say "Crack," either, can we?
LOL
Yes, I'm a newly converted evangelical zealot for the army of AA. It'll wear off, but there are some on this very board who dare not suffer the wrath of my pontification, I'll tell you THAT!
~grin~
I continue to learn, and have to remember that more people go back out than stay in. Damned shame, but THEY keep ME sober. One woman came into group yesterday and I think I mentioned something about it in a thread, but she seemed to be saying that she was merely too prideful and conceited to get the program to work for her. I felt like saying, "What the HELL do you have to be conceited about?" but I didn't. THAT, in itself, is a miracle for me!
LOL
Othere peoples' inventory always got me in trouble.

That's why we keep coming back, huh? So we don't ever forget where we came from nor what it was like....I'm grateful today that it's not me back out there in active addiction and the f*cking insanity...and I'm very grateful that you're not out there either...and I am extremly grateful for the lessons I received many years ago on getting complacent and getting all better & cured...
