Having just finished an email to my sponsor because I felt it was too late to call, I thought I'd share some good things that happened yesterday/today. ****side note first: you all are COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!**** I've been thinking the past couple of days how funny typing "my A" or "the A".. one could definitely fill in some blanks there Ah but I digress.... Last night was meeting night and it was refreshing and uplifting and medicinal and exactly what I needed. Yesterday's One Day At A Time In Al-Anon was completely on my mark...I could find it "scarey" how on the mark most of those are for me...or "coincidential"...but I know better....I know it's my HP...I just need to listen more...be more receptive to what He's trying to tell me... I was able to talk with my sponsor last night before the meeting too. Gave her a quick update as to what he and I discussed yesterday afternoon...went home and had a blissfull night of quiet...when I went to bed before he did (he was on the computer) I caught myself wondering why he didn't come to bed when I did...what was he doing so long on the computer...and so on and so on...the I remembered a post from yesterday that said I didn't need to stew about what my A is doing, I need to focus on me...and that's exactly what I did last night...And that focus consisted of me having a conversation with my HP... I of course thanked Him for the day and thanked Him for the wonderful fellowship at the meeting and thanked Him for the courage He have me to have the conversation with my A that I had earlier...I asked for His blessings and went to sleep... Today, I picked up my 10 y/o boy (he's on spring break) and got back about an hour later than what he wanted me to be home...and he wasn't upset and I wasn't nervous/scared/worried about being late...it was nice He then left to get more tattoo work done and CALLED ME to let me know what progress was being made and which meeting he might be going to so I would know when to kind of expect him home...(no more far away meetings either) I hung up the phone with a smile and a wink to the Big Guy and a thanks... He's been home about an hour or so now and things are going well, and I thank my HP for that...for reminding me to focus on ME...NOT on what he is or isn't doing...
Thanks agian everyone for just being you I'm praying and sending up and out good thoughts for each of you blessings Jennifer
I'm so glad to hear you had a couple of good days. They are wonderful aren't they? It still seems amazing to me how the tools of this program and my own changed attitude and behavior have such a positive effect on everyone around me. It is nice to have some peace and once you get a taste, you definately want more.
Keep coming back. It really does work, if you work it.

Great post Jennifer, thank you for sharing your good days! I love 'em, too and am finding that I am getting more and more of 'em, the more I work this program. Hugs, J.
