The newcomer is my best reminder

Being on vacation this week allows me to go to daily meetings, which I love love love.
In todays meeting, a newcomer of just a few weeks shared about her obsessing over all the things her alki son is doing and not doing. To the point where SHE has come down with a case of diarhea! Ha....do I remember those days of attachment. I was oh so grateful for her share, she kept it green for me! I no longer CARE what the drunk is doing. I dont drive by, I dont ask, I dont obsess for one real reason.

I dont care.

I care about ME, about Jackson, about work, about friends, about sending anonymous holiday gifts to friends I know who could use a lift up. I care about SO MANY things that have nothing to do with a drunk.

And I have God to thank for that. Enjoying the benefits of detachment is delicious. The newcomer showed me where I once was, and where I hope to God I never go to again.

This is the same person who a few weeks ago said she was a *shit magnet*. Hopefully, she will become a shit repellant. Just for today, I am. :)

Happy Thanksgiving, blogging world, I will be taking some delicous treats down South on Thanksgiving to be with my loved ones at an AA room. My family. The drunks, who would've thunk it?

Back

Didnt realize it has been 4 days since my last post. (sounds like confession).

So busy with work, high school back in session and I spend a lot of time in them recruiting seniors. thyroid still out of whack, always hots, weight gain has me frustrated, feet sometimes swollen.

but ya know what?

My detachment from the alcoholic is stronger than ever. I;ll take that any day!!

Back when I have more energy....have a great today, everyone!
