    I did it for love.

    Sitting on the sidewalk piss
    Telling me his wish
    Can't will to life

    Sitting on the sidewalk piss
    Pissing in a cup
    So he doesn't walk away on life

    Sitting on the sidewalk piss
    Digging deep in the abyss
    The lost life

    Sitting on the sidewalk piss
    Eyes beautiful and blue 
    Choosing life

    *Congrats Nancy. My big sis just hit the big 2 0, as well. She's a year and half ahead of me for both birthdays!

    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    Thanks guys, & congrats to all of you for being sober right now. Moment to moment, day to day... doing our best...during a challenging year & now the holidays. We can all do it, ODAAT.

    @hedonist You are exceptionally lucky to have a firewalker, I am so happy for you,  it must be a special journey. 😘

    My bottom was on going & I was living a 'normal ' life while slowly falling apart. I couldn't do it anymore,  none of it, my career, my marriage, my responsibilities,  I was suddenly terrified to live my life.   I was dealing with the onset of depression & panic, which I then had no name for except AHH!!  And at the same time my increasingly constant drunkenness. 

    That's part of my story, as deep as I wish to go right now. But it was an incredibly crucial change of my entire life. Wow, that was the beginning of two years of hell.

    I've been dealing with fear a lot & it brings me back to when panic creeped into my life. Thank God I'm not using because that is one seriously ugly mix. I don't want to use, but outing my fear is important. Thanks for letting me tell on myself!

    I did not go for my scan. I know I need to but COVID is bad here & I've been at home since March. I'm scared. I'll let you know when I actually go. Thanks for being my cyber home group. 

    Love to you all....and comfort & joy! ✌

    You’ll get there, Nancy. I know all about prolonging the necessary out of fear. That we’ve kept sober through all this is a testament to our will, even if getting there takes a while, or a few tries. 

    Be well :hug:

    to be able to do this for someone that close(although we hadnt seen each other for a long long time before reconnecting yr and half ago) is special to me.
    I work with one other guy, a former board member here. A Brit living in Poland.

    Each of these trip me out how they came to be and their significance to my sobriety.

    humbling and awe inspiring.

    Nothing like a strong shot of humility. Good for the soul. 

    Bravo to your friend.

    Well done.
    If the Dodgers didn't drive you to drink (for both frustration and celebration reasons) over the past 4 years, you can handle anything.
    This weekend we rock Portland
