A Journey Through Life that includes Alcoholism. Monthly Archives: September 2016. The Handyman Has QUIT. A lot of Recovery work for me has pointed out a bunch of self sabotage tactics that were in my daily life. Things I reacted to, drank over, meddled in – sure, tried to FIX. 8220;It’s Not My Business”. How I hate hearing that. How I hate saying that. I am not a fighter. So as I recite the Third Step Prayer for the “um-teenth” time today, I have to remember that it is not my. I AM NOT INVOLVED! So ofte...

A Journey Through Life that includes Alcoholism. Call Me Pollyanna…. Putting Some Gratitude Into a Situation Can be HARD →. The Gas Tank is Getting Low. Last post I wrote about finding something good in something that was a pain in the a$ , something that freaked me out a little. It put a whole new meaning on Pollyanna’s GLAD GAME. Last week I was able to do it. I am doing the footwork on my end to be ready for a change, to actually. I do have so many things to be thankful for…. November 25, 2016. You ar...

A Journey Through Life that includes Alcoholism. That Was THEN, This is NOW. When grown men act like little boys. Tantrums, meltdowns and more. There is nothing sexy or glorious about being a “peacemaker.” For me, it was a way to be in control. And now I know, it was how I thought I. Other people and outcomes. All the while, I am over my head, overwhelmed, bitter. I drank. It was always a good excuse. It was my only escape from a situation that was never mine to fix. None of my business. I cannot say for...

A Journey Through Life that includes Alcoholism. Call Me Pollyanna…. Life has been dealing some tough hands around my house lately. It is has been “Life on Life’s Terms” time of my Recovery in heaping helpings…. At 8:30 last night I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, sounds exciting, right? It was 11:00 and a shower later I was getting to bed. My furnace guy came and fixed it up by noon on a Sunday. No charge. Why I am Thankful. I don’t mind saying that I didn’t sleep very well,...All of wh...

Sorry for the “eff” bomb, but I heard this in the rooms and I always try to stay true to what others say, as they say it. It resonated with this alcoholic and I hoping it does for you. When I first came into these rooms I heard a lot about FEAR. In the old days, I would throw my hands up and say, “Let’s get a drink! This is where I am now. My Spo...

One of my favorite quotes from someone in a meeting was, “When I come to this particular meeting, I feel like I am having a head on collision with Gratitude.” This is pretty obvious to anyone that starts their day off with a meeting at a Homeless Shelter, which is what I do. We Will Love You Until You Love Yourself. Yes, I will admit it. I am going to ...

Oh for the love of...me: My Story
http://ohfortheloveofme.blogspot.com/p/my-story.html
Oh for the love of.me. Just another 50 woman trying to get her shit together. This is a hard one to write but on the off chance that someone out there, who even suspects they may have a drinking problem, finds any comfort in these words.then I am duty bound to write them. I never had a chance. I think I've always known I had a problem with alcohol from the time I took that first drink. It was Sloe Gin and one was not enough. I got drunk and sick and swore I'd never drink again. Yeah.right. As the years p...
