Catching Up in Bullets

So much has happened since the last time I wrote!

  • I have a new sponsor, and I am working the steps with her starting with step one.  Even though I have 5+ years of sobriety, I have never worked 1-3 with a sponsor, I was always told that 4-12 were the most important.  So this has been a wonderful eye opener for me! 
  • God has seen fit to send me two of the most willing girls I have ever sponsored.  God's timing is awesome!  So, we are about two weeks apart from one another in steps 1-3, pretty cool!
  • School is fine and the semester is waning down.  I am passing!  I am not on the deans list or even close to being on it, but I know I will pass the course and I am learning sooooo much.
  • The last two weekes in clinical I have had dying alcoholics as my patients.  One man died right before my eyes, little by little, all day as a direct result of alcoholism.  This experience has removed any complacency I posessed up to this point, and there was an abundance of complacency there, believe me....Thank you God.  I am so grateful this program found me.  There but for the Grace of God go I.
  • God's Grace is amazing to me.
  • Every day my gratitude list gets longer and longer :)
  • I have never felt so good in my own skin as I feel today, even at still about 40 lbs. over weight.  I like me.  I love me. 
  • I am so grateful for the steps, especially 1-3 today.  I never realized how self centered I had become.  It feels so good to be conscious of it, and to try and change it.  My new spsonsor helps me with that!  :)
  • God's timing rocks!
  • I love and miss my bloger buddies, I am still here now and then reading and sometimes commenting.  I have no plans of leaving my blog, but right now my plate is little full.
  • Have a great Sunday everybody!

Grateful

Today I am grateful and thankful;
  • For a Higher Power that loves and guides me, if I let Him
  • That I do not have to figure everything out, in fact it is probably a good idea if I don't try. (overheard at a meeting this morning)
  • The people and situations God has put in my life recently.
  • Spring is almost here!
  • The women of A.A.
  • My new sponsor
  • Working the steps
  • New meetings and friends
  • Growth
  • I have the time for much needed meditation
  • That I am loved and I know it because I can feel it.
And last, but not least, I am so grateful Pammie is back!
Good Night Everybody!
