Wednesday was my first f2f in a couple of weeks. I had been pouting and feeling soooo sorry for myself for a good 10 days, nothing was lifting it. The meeting topic was Asking for Help, and in discussion after one of the readings it brought on an unexpected avalanche of tears, followed by a good old vent , with a lot of choice words........I vented for the world..... and then stopped........ looked at everyone, and suddenly got a fit of the giggles which got them all laughing....theres so much going on in my life at the moment (out-with the A) its like its raining s..t. They could only agree and thanked me for bringing my sad sorry ass through the door and giving them a good laugh.........the meeting would have been so boring without me!!........black humour .......yeah, brilliant, and soooo good for the heart. Love it.
I left the meeting with the same s..t in my life that I walked in with, but on leaving was crushed to near death by hugs, the warmth of which Im still feeling today.....and the reminder that when I let the programme and meetings slip, I slip. My mood was lifted and my spirits strengthened.
The topic was timely, because on Wednesday night, 10pm, kitchen door opened and in walked my Ason......Asking for Help.......
