thanks for dropping by



todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I seem to have simplified Step 3 into one word -- whatever

that I can usually keep my mouth shut when someone shares in a meeting about what we need to do or what I should not do or how I feel or act instead of keeping it just about themself

for a wonderful sobriety birthday celebration at Lambda this past Saturday -- we celebrate a month's worth of birthdays in one night -- this month there were 32 people with a total of 314 sober years

for fellowship with others who think (almost) like me

Don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

Eight one year celebrants! That was the best part! Other than you, of course.

Maybe you should not have kept your mouth shut... maybe.

I went to the Patton museum in Louisville, Ky..he is from there. He said a lot of good stuff, but I don't remember too much of it.

Sounds like a good birthday celebration. I also do my best to keep my mouth shut.

Now there is a lot of sobriety! Happy Birthday...again. In CT they call it an anniversary...even sing happy anniversary to the tune of happy b-day. I like to think we were reborn.

i can't stop laughing about this, "that I can usually keep my mouth shut when someone shares in a meeting about what we need to do or what I should not do or how I feel or act instead of keeping it just about themself".

amen brother, amen :)
