Hi folks,
I'm glad to see everyone is getting a much needed stress release....
Now how about we all say sorry and let it go. "How Important Is It"? "Let It Go".
"Live And Let Live". Does anyone really think that there words can make a difference? Noone is that important, when the big picture is looked at. The need to get in my two sence usually is nothing more than me getting in my own way.
Pride...Foolish Pride...Ego...etc...EGO = Easing God Out! Or you can all take your wills back and spend the remainder of the evening pi--ed off. Thats fine .
Not much different here tonight than it was when I clicked on here a year or so ago. lol "Live Easy, But Think First"
Take care........Bob
Oh yeah,
By the way, my night has been good. I had a movie night with my youngest daughter. Now I'm sittin' here listening to The James Gang Rides Again, great CD, and soon I'll be puttin' on the Joe and Charlie tapes with my wife..( Thanks 12stepper for those). My recovery comes first, whatever anyone thinks of me is none of my business.

Bob:
Nice to see you, my friend.
Bob, what a flashback!!! The James Gang....what an album!!! See there, I just dated my age by calling it an album...
Funk 49 was one of my favorite songs.

Intolerance of others will make me use again and I cant afford that. I have to live by the live and let live....life is too short to have arguements. There was a time I would sit here and fight and wait for new posts so I could say something back just as nasty or worse. In the end it dont matter cause it dont matter who is right and who is wrong cause I end up feeling like s*** for it. I get the emotional hangover. Very bad for my recovery. I learned that one the hard way.

Hi Terrianne and Rachel,
Nice to see you both.
I miss the old days too, well, some of them..*wink*
Rachel, great to see ya', we should talk more often. Also, being an only child I think it's really neat you and your sister have eachothers support with recovery.
Although I'm lucky too, I have Gina and my dad, but I always thought it would have been nice to have a brother or sister. Anyway, nice to see you both.

Guys,
I honestly tried to let it go, if you read my posts. But when he said the one thing that he knew would hurt the worst of all ......then was when I messed up. You are right, I should never have given my power away like that.
Wish I had done better, sorry for letting my hurt dictate what I said on this board.

We shouldd talk more often. I love seeing you here. It is nice having my sister in recovery. We just went to two back to back meetings together. The reason I got back into the Program was because I took her to a meeting. God does for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
Rachel
Hi Sharon,
It's all good. The nice thing is we can start our day over when ever we want. Let it go, get happy and move on. It is what it is, whats done is done, it's only important what we do next and if we can learn from it. I find I can always learn from my actions, good or bad.
Take care.........Bob

Letting go of past hurts and haunts is important. So is not letting someone get to you that has absolutely nothing to do with your recovery. Especially when that person doesn't even like you or respect you. So why try? Guess it's human nature to want to give back. At least that's what the program has taught me.
Glad you had a nice thanksgiving Bob. You too Gina.

Rachel,
Thats a fact, "God does for me what I can't do for myself". If it were up to me, I'd be drunk, high, or dead tonight. Instead I'm sittin' here content with who I am, posting about recovery on a friday night...who would have ever thought? lol
I love doing the double headers! lol I shouldn't project but I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I'll probably make a morning meeting, God willing, then tomorrow night Gina is speaking at my home group.

Thanks for reminding me of that Bob. I needed a good swift kick in the butt earlier. I am still vunerable, but I will say that no one will see that from me again. A successful recovery means that we take responsibility for our actions. I am doing that now and I regret all of my words said in anger and hurt tonight.

Bob,
James Gang rides again is a true classic. Obviously you are a guitar player. Do you remember who replaced Joe Walsh after he left? The Gang had two more albums. One called 'Bang' and the last one called 'Miami'
Joe's replacement was a true inovator in his day, but unfortunately he could never kick his heroin habit and he od'd in 76.
I'll give you another hint. He also replaced Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple...

Sharon,
Nothing wrong with letting people see you vunerable or upset or whatever, just don't let the ones trying to push your buttons succeed. As much as I sometimes wanna tell someone to go "F" themselves, and as hard as it sometimes is to walk away, I do know I Always feel better not having let whoever see I was upset. Then it's my poor sponsor, wife or buddy that gets the ear full! lol Too which they say to me, "Let It Go" lol, I hate hearing that sometimes! lol But ya' know what, it's gettin' easier, and it simply isn't the way God would want me to react or respond. I use the "As If" theory, I act "as if" my grandmother is watching me. It works for me, we were close and she would want me to keep moving forward and doing the next right thing for sure.
Anyway, hang in there, I'm glad your feeling a little better, and believe it or not it's kinda nice to be posting to ya' again.
Take care........Bob
