Hi all..... busy doing a lot of life-stuff here, and thought I would take the time to check in. Been awhile. Have gotten to several meetings in the past 2 weeks, and that feels great. I am set to pick up a friend who is back in treatment, and take her to a meeting soon, whenever she calls. Looking forward to that, as I will be going to the treatment center where I was helped, and then where I worked for a while thereafter, so that will be a very good "coming home" kind of thing for me. Hope she calls soon!! I am also getting involved in some grassroots political door-to-door stuff here in my neighborhood, which is terrific. It feels realy good to be involved in my community, a community where I could not ever give back while I was drinking and drugging. Just trying to balance everything in life one day at a time, and finding that keeping busy is the key for me, followed by a day here and there, like today, where I SLEEP a lot. LOL They just don't make enough vitamins to eliminate my need for a good nap here and there! Autumn is upon us here in NE Ohio, and I am looking forward to a walk with the dog here in a bit, in a sweatshirt and jeans. I love fall, and cuddling in comfy clothes. (along with cuddling in NO clothes... LOL forget it....) Hope you are all doing well, and I will try to check in more often. Have a great week, everyone!!! Love, Joni
