It's Saturday, Where Is Everybody?

[citoig]

COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE.:confused: :confused:

Boy, everybody seems to be hiding. Will all you "lurkers" please check in and say something?:rolleyes:

The weather here is really beginning to feel like mid-Autumn. The sun is shining but it is chilly. The storms of the past week have blown most of the leaves down. Soon the trees will be bare and grey.:(

What does this discussion have to do with sobriety? Well for me, I don't have to worry about being snowed in and not having any booze in the house. Nor do I have to worry that there is no food in the house or look over my shoulder when driving, hoping the cops don't catch me driving drunk.

I guess that what I'm trying to say is that there is one word that describes my life today -GRATITUDE

Let's hear from y'all. Have a great day.

I have been staying with my sponcee to help her take care of her 2 year old and help her as she recovers from cervical fusion of 5-6. My car was in the shop for 6 weeks getting a transmission, so my trips home were limited. Her computer is dialup and she doesn't have call waiting...so I have been offline for a bit. All is well now. My car was returned to me at 530 yesterday and I am online at work. I am having fun with my dramatic weight loss. Did I tell you all that I had gastric bypass surgery? Well, I have gone from 275 pre op August 14th to 217 today. I am 5'10" and a large boned woman, so my goal is 170. 58 down, 43 to go...I have so much energy now. I can dance like I haven't been able to since my 20's. I feel like my outsides match my insides now. I continue to work a program of recovery by doing service work. I will be going to the women's prison next Sunday to bring in a NA meeting. I call my sponsor regularly. It is she I will be going to the prison with...I take her suggestions. Life is good today. I don't live in fear anymore. I trust my HP with those things I am powerless over. What a relief! :)

Bats - congratulations on your dramatic weight loss! I've been dieting and have lost 10 pounds - which doesn't sound like much when considering your 58 pound loss - but at least I'm going in the right direction for a change!! lol ;)

Citoig - we've been having a little warmer temps the last day or so, and now they say would could come close to 70 degrees on Wednesday -- go figure!

Nice to see both of you....

Have a peaceful eveing.......
