Val, Zac, Avondale Girl, Izzy....

....where art thou guys? Sorry if I forgot anyone, how goes it?
Hi Vw....I have been around just mostly lurking though. How have you been? How is K? I haven't even really caught up on anyone too much. I was just feeling a bit overwhelmed by too much recovery talk. If that even makes sense??? I am still sober though...so that is great. Thanks so much for the shout out. I will email you soon. Are your email addresses still the same? I have two of them so I will send to both so you are sure to get them. Hope you and your girls are well. You're a sweetie and got me through some really rough times in my early sobriety! Thank you for that!

Hey VW and Val

Life is crazy at the moment all busy and some good, some not so.
The one thing about being sober is living the ride and mentally my mind likes to white water raft all day, physically i think im 21, emotionally i can range from 10 to 43 and spiritually i allow spirit to carry me instead of walking with it.

Am i loving the ride...bloody oath i am, because im sober
am i scared of the ride..sh#t yes because im a worrier
am i grateful.....yes because im learning to be me

Light and love Zac
Hi Valarie,

Yes, please do send me an email message to vwgeri@verizon.net

Zac,

When I was reading your post I thought he is totally describing how my mind thinks and works, we are not unique....I'm so glad that those of us in recovery are not alone!
I was just thinking of you!!!!

Zac couldn't of said it any better!!

I'm trying to stay on the beam....little tornadoes keep coming close and trying to blow me off.

I am doing some very rewarding service work teaching a class at a rehab which is keeping my spirit full of positive light.

Work is slow and not fullfilling or rewarding and I'm having pesky old issues about my dad pop up lately. Alcohol was a factor in his death (when I was 11) and the healthier I get in sobriety the more I realize how much alcohol was consumed by my parents and how not ok their behavior was.

I've got a good therapist (whose in recovery 20+ yrs)and a great sponsor to keep me on the beam....and all of you whom I adore !!!!! :)

Thank you for the shout-out Geri....You are always in my thoughts and prayers...and your girls.

love,
C
