hi MIP family,

still sober, still looking to do the next right thing...  and going to school full time.  the past year i have been getting all the prerequisites together so i could get on the list to take a certificate couse to be a nurses aid.  i am leaning towards elder care up here in my rural part of northern california.  i live between Redding and Mt Lassen, lots of  senior citizens up here, plus my Dad (82 y.o.) Lost my Mom last year to cancer.  anyway, God has helped me (in a matter of 2 weeks) skip the list and go straight to school.  yup, he wants me to be there.  I love it.  it keeps me busy, Labs are 2 evenings a week, 2pm to 10 pm, after labs will be the actual care at a nursing home as a student nurses aid.  will learn how to follow instructions there and not make the wrong decisions on my own.  i will have strict protocol and answer to the instructor....  this will be a challenge for me because i have been so independent for the past 25 years (making the wrong decisions under the influence) it is sometimes hard to follow rules and directions... but the steps and AA is helping me with that.  just wanted to let you all know i have not flown the coop, i am still leaning on my higher power because staying sober is so important to me.  the steps help me deal with life as it unfolds.  take care and will check in again soon.    jj/sheila
