Checking in.......I apologize for not checking in sooner, no excuses just been busy working trying to make ends meet. Working retail during the holidays-- I had to take all the hours I could while I could! I got a new job for the new year! I am so excited, more money--less stress, will be a good thing! I am a bit nervous....change for me is hard, I am ready for it though! I will fake it till I make it! I made it through the holidays relatively pain free.....I managed not to stress about gifts too much and not having any money, just did what I could, it seemed to work for once in my life! Staying clean and sober is having it's positive effects on my life at the moment and I am not taking anything for granted. It truly is a gift that is long over do! I am continuing to make meetings....because........Meeting makers make it! So they say...and I have tried everything else that didn't work, so I am not going to take any chances as I don't have any left! This is it! Life or Death! I choose life! Madisgram and Roadie, Leed you have all been in my thoughts! Glad to see you all still here! I will try to not be such a stranger. I love this place!
