Character defects!!

Wow did one of mine just raise its ugly head!  Been arguing with the Drs. office about my yearly physical which is covered as a preventitve office call.  They coded it as something other then a yearly because the Dr. talked to me about a few other things.  I didnt know it would cost me.  I am healthy as a horse.  Im a sober, runner, who eats healthy.  Anyway I have lost my cool with the first insurance woman last week.  So the;y had another lady call and tell me that thier hands are tied and im s&$t out of luck.  Well she got the same responce as the other lady lol.  Wow I dont like how I act because Susie doesnt get her way.  I hate when I get nasty!   But as I sat here I saw it was mostly because I didnt get my way.  Poor me.  Well dang I just might have to make an amends.  Or switch drs.  I still think its dirty pool tho.  I didnt feel like this last physical was any differnt then the past ones.  Hmmmm Oh well Im better now and will try to act like a lady from here on lol lol.

Act like a lady, LOL.

I think I would switch. Evidently my doctor has gone above and beyond the call of duty, they always offer to code it differently to help me out financially.

Now I'm thinkin I should prolly not be so bummed that they charged me for the office visit I missed........ hmmmph

Hey Susie, just because we are doing some "work",we are human and we do get angry,especially when feeling violated,its human nature.You had the problem,you are sharing the solution can't do much better than that.Each little diddy in life brings us to another lesson.We learn,sometimes very painfully that its how we react to a situation that freaks us and not always the situation itself.. Let me see,blow up,reflection,solution,make some amends and store it for next time,yup lookin good!!!!  ...And hey at $1.00 per week for the rest of your life,they'll get paid....(now don't be like that Mike  :) :)  )Do you Marathon at all?.By God's grace I have qualified and run Boston 4 times,last one in 2004..87 on course that year ,brutal..talk about an endorphin filled ,time to reflect and,,oh my aching hip way to fly huh!!!!   If God has that in store for me I would like to get back to Boston just one more time,,Very far away from that goal now,but we are compulsive(keep it on me) I am a compulsive!!!!!!smilepeace.

Im a half marathoner!! I will be doing half marathon trail run May 1st. Very hard course. Very, very hilly and rutty. Then May 28th I will be doing the Bayshore half in Traverse City, MI. Beautiful course. My boyfriend does marathons and qualified this year for 2012 Boston. I will have over 10 halfs under my belt and have been running 4 years. Im 51 and becoming sober has opened up a whole new healthy life for me. Congrats Mikef on your Boston marathons. Only another runner can understand how truly awesome that is.!!! My hats off to you! I know what it takes in a person to qualify for such an elite race. Have you done New york.

Hey Susie! yes in 1997,,cold day ,rained last 2 hours,no not rain like hurricane and then again in 2000..very cold and windy. Ran 13 marathons since then.....good for you /halfs are nice ,each year I do the dutchess classic here in poughkeepsie.Bailed my first marathon Sept. 97 on that course,at mile 23,dehydrated early and wouldnt stop,Just went unconcious,Had to be driven to hospital in ambulance and stayed for like 10 hours with 2 saline bottles slowly hydrating me,.ran new york 40 days after and I was on a mission after that....God is good and has definitely allowed me strength and His grace.Im still plugging along ,at 63 getting much slower but blessed to be able to drift away on the roads, big part of my serenity and place to "get away" i know you know what I mean...With God's grace,doing the work,'LOST DREAMS AWAKEN AND NEW POSSIBILITIES ARISE"I drink in the endorphins of life,never a better high! This is an AA forum so i'll be quiet now,but before I go I'll share a meditation with you I would use when I had to go deep when wasn't much left"Those that wait upon God shall renew their strength,they shall fly on wings like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow tired..Go ahead and fly!!!!!smile
