Waiting for an evening AA meeting to start in Denmark. Toured La Cambre yesterday with a few of my interns before traveling. Fascinating. Staying on the beam despite nerves about a professional presentation yesterday, surrendered to win and let my HP handle it: God=Grace over drama. My Goddaughter met up with us for dinner, as she’s an ATC stationed in Europe for now and we ate at an unlikely named Rugbyman. Not taking for granted any of the gifts.
Watching War of the Worlds, the new one with Ice Cube and Eva Longoria. It’s so, so, so, so, so bad that I totally forgot that I wanted to drink. I mean this movie is so stupid — I forgot how to drink.
Basically today is about being of service to others and trying not to engage in my BED. Focusing on the next right step
It was so bad lol i watched it last night and was cringing. So cheesy!
Checking in! Lots of coffee today and a busy work day. Now on my way to pick up my kiddos from daycare and head to my parents house for dinner
Oh NO! I was really looking forward to watching that. I am sorry that it was such a sucky movie! Glad it kept you numbed with its stupidity that you forgot to drink LOL
Well I had an intense craving after I got off work. Usually it passess within an hour but this time it was longer and kept nagging. So I utilized the h.a.l.t method! I called a friend and we got lunch together. Drank lemon water and ate a big salad. Craving gone. Still sober getting ready now to go to the fair tonight
Nicely done! Way to work through the craving. Have a fun time at the fair
Deep breathing so i dont take my frustrations amd irritability out on others. Its been a day
Thank you!

Going to bed early
Ah girl…here if you need to vent. Sorry for the day…hope it gets better
Thank you @Nomad620 and @JazzyS
I think im just over tired from not sleeping last night and going all day. I had a headache for most of the day and my son was hyper all day and non stop talking and all i wanted to do was rest. So i played a game with him and then went to lay down on the couch. But he wasnt listening so i had to step aside and take some deep breaths so that I wouldnt get frustrated. Thankfully it worked and I am feeling a little better now. I just need sleep i think. Plus i way over caffeinated myself and that probably wasnt a good idea either
ah girl that sounds like a frustrating and tiring day. Glad you did take time to do deep breathes and that it worked
I do hope that you can rest and get some down time soon Sending you calming vibes my friend.
I am fitting in an in person meeting no matter what. I get nore anxious about finding the building and the right door and right room, than about the participation itself. I really enjoy new meetings while traveling. I am also seeing in my line of work that especially the younger professionals coming up are almost all 100 percent sober, no matter where in the world they’re from, without being straight edge, or proclaiming it. It’s really great to see, even if they don’t find it renarkable. This event is all about sustainability, and it fits that sobriety is a sustainable lifestyle commitment.
Today I am being of service to others…
I messaged a lady who i know, whose daughter is going thru another bout of cancer I had been hesitating on messaging the mother for some time as i felt like i didn’t know what to say (just felt so close to home). But today i messaged her. And as a mom myself of a child who has had cancer, i understand. It was nice chatting with her and I hope she feels supported.
Then, my family is sending off a birthday card to a little boy in Florida who has a rare disease and is not able to celebrate with friends as he had to move closer to the hospital for treatments. So im picking up a card today so that we can send him a nice message.
I love helping people. I like to do what I can with the resources that I have available to me. I feel blessed today
@Butterflymoonwoman aw all of those acts of service are very kind and considerate. I can gurantee those acts of kindness have helped/touched those individual lifes.
I am staying busy today! We were up late last night from fair and now at the local community pool that has an awesome water kid play area. Kids are napping and I am popping on in to check in. Just been on the go go.
Thank u so much! I hope it helps brighten their day. A lot of people and organizations have helped me and my family in time of need. It feels nice to give back as well
You are so very special, kind and loving. Wish there more folk like you.
Awr ur too sweet! Thank u
