IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

I choose to be in places and situations and with people where I feel good about myself. I deserve to feel good and I trust that my heart will tell me where to go. ~Ruth Fishel
Today I am grateful...
  • for the reminder that it was close to five years ago I registered my telephone numbers with www.donotcall.gov. The registration is only good for five years, so this morning I registered again.
  • that the truly bizarre dream I had of spending lots of time in a titty bar in which I ended up drinking was just a dream. A trashy dream at that.
  • for WWDKD
  • that I do not believe ALL I hear. I must temper it with a little sanity, self-reflection and experience. What I will believe without questioning is your experience.

And then, one ill-defined day, one day that I can't recall, I stepped across the line that alcoholics know so well, and from that day on, drinking was miserable. When a few drinks made me feel good before I went over that line, those same drinks now made me feel wretched. In an attempt to get over that feeling, there was a quick onslaught of a greater number of drinks, and then all was lost. Alcohol failed to serve the purpose. ~Physical Heal Thyself, Alcoholics Anonymous

Oh NO! I forgot who DK is! Shoot. We have been through this before. (or is this just a very strange case of deja vu?)
