My younger brother told me to try this web-site. As usual he is right. At the moment I am looking for a job and needed something else to occupy a portion of my brain. So here I am! I might as well tell everyone how grateful I am that he is my brother!

Enough about him. Let's get to my favorite topic which is me. I filled out 3 aps yesterday to be a clerk @ the Water Tower. Honest to Pete, I am doing everything possible to get a job and only learning patience. I will attach a pic, if & when I figure out how to do so. My hobbies include reading, reading and more reading.
With the vagaries in income at the moment I do walk a lot. Oh well.

So I tried to start a wiki called trudging the road of happy destiny (as we all do so) and as of yet haven't got it all together all together. Will keep trying. What sobriety has given me among other things, is the ability to keep on keeping on. That was one of my dear sponser's favorite sayings. I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving Day 2003 at Portland, Oregon airport. She was going one way and I went the other. Her last words to me were "have a nice trip". History is good. Having sober history with others is good. The other day, I sat in a meeting with two of the ladies who saw me when I was first getting sober. That's a good thing. I know they have come a long way, which might mean that I have also.

Update: 12/10/07 have been employed an entire week now.

Today is January 12, 2008 and I am one day at a timing it. My job is good. I like my life, my self-esteem is returning. ...so much of me is tied into my work. I give it about all I've got every day and then get up the next day and do it again. That attitude only becomes a problem if I am out of work. Right now, I am convinced that I will do whatever it takes to keep doing what I'm doing. That means getting out of bed at a really early hour, getting home late at night, .... because if I won't co-operated with the Spirit of the Universe, then what have I got? ...nada, zip, zilch. That's what I can draging into the rooms of AA. Just about nada, zip, zilch and those bottoms that I have had after I got clean and sober are just as important to acknowledge as the bottom that brought me to my first stick and stay meeting.
How slowly I have changed!!!!!!!!!
