The priest and his wife at the church I've been going to since I got Sober in July (Baptized in October) suprised me with a present today (I would have been grateful for just a greeting card but they gave me a 100$ gift card. . 😲 ) and an older couple that I see there every week also gave me a present (33 dollars to represent my age, as "they do for their grandchildren" to use their words) and both gifts came with a beautiful card..
I definitely wasn't expecting anything so that was an awesome suprise. As more and more people go off the hinges and turn away from God, I'm so blessed to have turned towards him during the hardest year of my life. It absolutely made the weight much lighter to carry
Just wanted to share that, in a sea of bad news it's always nice to have something wholesome to tell. Merry Christmas everyone!
Yes but in a different way
Growing up I was always attracted to counter culture, going against authority and etc
Never would have expected being "normal" is the new weird. NOT being a tattooed colored-haired septum piercing having freak atheist IS the new counter culture
Some of you may remember my comments on previous General Chats about the trouble I got into while still battling my drinking - I'd just like to follow up that my sentencing finally came on the 5th, and because I have been doing so well with my recovery they agreed to my plea for probation, so it went good and I can breathe a little easier
I also received my 5 month sober chip the same day
My first Thanksgiving 100% sober.. also the first Thanksgiving without my grandfather I took care of for 11 years. Was a weird mix of emotions but as the world keeps gettin nuttier I'm just glad my heads getting clearer
Don't forget Avicii, his music video about it has reached 95 million. He most likely knew they'd take him out for making it...but he still did it.

I've been sick since about Friday night, no jab, it sucked but I feel it curving back down. Still dealing with phlegm and such, and nose feels like I been using sandpaper from having to blow so much... but, I have to wonder how much worse it woulda been had I took their shot
Most people at my work got sick too (small group, all in close contact with eachother) .. If it gets worse for any of them I'd be curious if they did take it.
Rock bottoms basement
I've had pancreatitis hospitalizations several times, even my first DUI last year shoulda done it...but that couldn't just seem to break the chains
It took sitting in a jail cell and vowing to God that if when I got out I'd attend AA (which I do nearly every day),attend church, and get that baptism
Haven't touched a drop since those vows were made so I guess he knew I was serious
With my legal situation, a relapse could result in quite a bit of jailtime so that helps get past any little urges that might pop up
But in general it's been pretty easy - AA helps tremendously
But yeah screw walmart for having beer and water in the same isle lol
Haven't been on here in a little bit... between the daily meetings and the new job I haven't been doing much else lol. But, glad to see you're all hanging in there. I hit weeks sober tonight. Still got a mountain to climb but already getting a good view
It makes you wonder if all this tranny stuff they shove down kids throats (sorry for phrasing lol) isn't a psychological attack by China. Look at many of the places around them that are basically widely known for that stuff (Bangkok, for example). What made so many of the men in those locations do that to themselves in such huge numbers (and young ages)
