My reaction to reading the BB this morning was "ya ya ya I've been through this for years". 

I only have 5 weeks sober. I'm an a-hole sometimes and that will take me out.

I know nothing and will read before I start my day. 

Anythoughts are nice. I just wanted to tell someone before the day starts my thoughts were not right. 

Reading will begin now. Meeting later.

The new version Liz is that it is permissible to still act like an a-hole and decide not to drink anyway.  That way I get to work on both problems with a clear head at the same time.  Perspective is important for me now in sobriety...I don't do as many negatives as before.  I see 5 weeks sober as hugely different than 5 weeks dry.   Just for me.  Keep up the "good" work.   (((hugs))) smile

Hi Liz,

     It sounds like the ego tried to get in the way of the spiritual and, realizing this, you got out of the way.  Five weeks is 35 miracles.  You are on the path to a great life if you want it. Sounds like you want it.

     Love and Light to you!
