To you all...and thanks for the responses to the Spiritual Transference post a few days back. With your feedback and support from my local group I am now back in balance and remembering what it was like in the past when I let go of the process and the outcome and walk to the solutions attended by my Higher Power and the fellowship. Another "no guarantee" reminded.
I reached out to a local brother in recovery who has a history of relapse along with the history of renewed growth on all levels and I leaned agains my car and just listened to him readjust my perspective from his experiences and awareness. Took him a few minutes and he helped me back to center LOL this guy also is built in height and hug capacity that when he hugs me my back pops back into alignment...he can often hear it and feel it and that is not why he hugs me. Sooo funny and right on.
Surgery is tomorrow at 9:30 and that process is also causing gratitudes already.
Stay grateful, eat like it was all made just for you and help clean the kitchen.
Blessings and go in the hands of the Master Surgeon! Tomorrow's meaning ,especially for "us" is definitely THANKSGIVING,,over and above everyday in sobriety and walking in the grace oand mercy of our Higher Power!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of You and the rest to follow this thread. I have so many blessings to be grateful for and can only pray that God help me show my gratitude for each and every one of them.
Hope the surgery goes well for you Jerry .
It is so wonderful to be sober every day and take particular note at the Holidays, cuz there were plenty of em' that I was drunk.
I was asked what I'm thankful this year. After giving it some thought, I decided I was most thankful that my list was too long to pick only one thing. Happy Thanksgiving to my AA friends and family.
K.....
