-> Hi Rain,
-> How are you?  Good to see you here.
Thanks! Same back atcha.
-> hard.  One of the major things for me is that I wasn't out in the
-> world before
-> then, I stayed at home.  There weren't any "real" chanllenges to my
-> not drinkin at that time.
Oh, sure there were. They were just of a different kind. Give yourself
and your Higher/Deeper Power credit where it's due, OK?
-> working around drinkers, and that temptation is all around me.  I've
-> had to relearn, had to rethink, and had to renew all my vows to
-> myself that I would remain sober. No matter what!
Well, personally, like most AAs I know, I have to keep those
decisions to the day I'm in.  If I start going for big longterm
vows/resolutions, I'm halfway back in the willpowered as opposed to
Creator-powered mode.  But maybe that wasn't what you meant?
-> I just had my 11th surgery for a problem and a friend asked me why I
-> haven't
-> gone back to drinking to help myself over this.  I laughed and said,
-> " This is
-> hell enough to get thru'.  Can you imagine trying to handle all this
-> and a hangover too?"
LOL! I sure hear ya on that one! Picking up again would make nothing
better, even a little or temporarily, without making ten things hugely
and lastingly worse.
-> The sun is out today.  We're going to have a snowy Easter here in
-> Rochester. Does the Easter bunny leave tracks?  I wonder.
In mud, if nothing else.  We had some flurries here, but nothing that
stuck.
