I am not that secure but I have had practice in making do with what I have. It is like what choice do I have? One day at a time and some days are better than others has been my days lately. I keep borrowing from Peter to pay Paul but am working through it. Every day I step out the front door it is a risk of what kind of day is it going to be this day? I just keep on keeping on.
So do you feel lucky. Did I fire five bullets or six? In all the excitement I lost track track myself. But the 44 magnum being the largest handgun in the world... Clint Eastwood.
I find it easy to be honest with my dog now. I think being in a relationship can challenge one's honesty. Like has been said you lay it on the line out there for others to see and you can become a target. I find it easier to be honest with myself because I know where I am coming from. Being honest has caused me problems in relationships because everything you can say can be used against you. Who needs aggravation? The truth can set you free and it can put you behind bars, too if you have skeletons. I have made my amends but how others see that is really up to them. Personally, I am claustrophobic and that has helped me to stay out of jails. I value my freedom too much to become a pawn in someone else's game. Eighteen years of living under someone else's rules and then two divorces has really changed a lot of my views about what is wrong and right. Staying single has made my life a lot more simpler. I just got one boss at home and I have to abide by the bosses' rules at work whether I agree with them or not. I refuse to be ruled by guilt trips at home. I don't really have a choice at work. I take their advice under advisement but if they don't want to know my side of the story then screw them. Let them believe whatever they wish to believe. I am beginning to understand what my dad meant when he said, "I believe everyone ought to be able to go to hell which ever way they wish to."
I really like eggnog and it is true you can only get it during the Christmas season. I would like to find a good recipe for it. I am sure it was made by scratch before it was sold as a finished product. Sounds like some good advice you put there, Reno.
I cut loose ann am still in these hills. I have went away from these hills but seem to keep coming back. I haven't heard from my ex in over a year. The last time I seen her was over a year ago. She was doing great. I am happy for her.
I have learned that you can't please everybody so you might as well please yourself. That for me there is a karma and sometimes no matter how hard I try that bad things can happen. Change is the only thing that stays consistant. I can't promise anyone a tomorrow.
I know that pulling your back hurts. I was on that Norgesic Forte when I pulled mine. I hope your back gets to feeling better. I know you will need them with your busy life style.
I got sober 11/11/83. I thought we was close. I had the nine months then did the relapse. The relapse helped me to accept the first step. I just back from our RU12 group. Guy there just made 47 years.
RE: Hi All, I'm the new guy.
