Yes. Sherrie it is amazing to me too how we get to live this life. What a gift!!!
Spent a few hours with my sponsor today. We walked her dogs, then closed off her dining room so we could talk privately. With almost 30 years of sobriety, Cheryl has accumulated a lot of wisdom. She tells me she used to run dope (heroin) in her arms every day, plus drank alcoholically. I look at her, see how she is in her day to day business and cannot imagine she ever did that.
Funny thing, Cheryl's husband always wants to join in the visit when her sponsees come over to do work and she gets really upset with him. Heh Heh! I love her hubbie! He was in a recliner when I was leaving. I went over - kissed his forehead on my way out. Left her home and went to the 6:00 women's meeting tonight. Great meeting! Someone brought chocolate mint cookies ... that made it even better. *grin*
So far, I have been able to stay away from the Girl Scout chocolate mint cookies. I have to get two boxes to make it worth my while. Anything less is just enough to make me mad. And I saw those Cadbury milk chocolate eggs with the yellow and white creme inside at a drugstore the other day. I literally ran out the door. Put me in a room with 8 or 10 of those and a quart of milk ... not a pretty sight! LOL!
Hope you have a swell week!
