See, you are getting better! A week ago, you were wondering when you would feel better.
I am so glad you are going to meetings; remember, take what you need and leave the rest. You can learn alot there and I know you will go so far.
Just be patient with yourself; you can do this.
You rock, Reddog.

Hey Reddog.Hi Littlebeach.
I'm up early........I'm doing a dawn patrol.
LB is right Red.A week ago that kid was you.I hope you got a chance to welcome him.I know why your sponsor is suggesting the dinner afterwards.It's one of the most critical elements in Recovery.........getting to know people outside the meetings.I would go ahead and do it for awhile.Maybe you can cut back on it after awhile and make it once or twice a week.Talk to your sponsor about it.that's what he's for.
Addicts are notorious for isolating.Im bad about it too.I get into my comfort zone and nudging me to do something different requires dynamite.
I always feel better afterwards when I take the plunge.
The more people in recovery you let know you,the less of an enigma you are.The secrets we have guarded become less important.There are no big deals.We have people around us who will confront our denial systems.It's a healthy way to live.
You're doing great.

Morning, Tim...or goodnight. I love that line.."the Ocean is my HP and I worship her by surfing." You should have seen the ocean tonight; it was raining in the distance and you could see the storm over the ocean; absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long time.
Tim is right, Red. In early sobriety, I had mad cravings and feelings of not wanting to fit in, anywhere. I felt like I was supposed to be okay; and one thing I learned was to tell on my disease. Your head will take a while to get clear; like that other post said, your neroulogical systems need to be rewired. This takes time and a lot of patience. So when you feel things coming on, tell someone. It really helps. Even if you don't feel like it is okay to say it, trust someone and bounce things off of them.
You will get better faster than you know. Just be patient and kind to yourself. You are doing so awesome.
