drama

My disease is so subtle.
I hada good bunch of days strung together. Noon meeting on Thursday. Dinnner and open AA meeting Friday. Baby shower and bowling Sat. Church and a dozen people showed up at last nights nmeeting. But where do I go? Into self pity about one afternoon alone. Stri the pot and it becomes drama.

Last nights topic-- for me it as whew! when I found the rooms and people not just talking about things I understood because we all lived with the disease but they listened to me and no one told me I was crazy. That was the relief. The recovery came when I surrendered. I was done fighting.

One woman was so honest. She said where she is at relief of one meeting a week, no sponor no Step work but that she is happy to stay there. Then she changed the subject. One man said he came to the meeting with a burning desire of Alanon relapse and got answers from the sharing on this topic.

So no drama today. I promised my sponsor I would live a plain day today.

It sounds like you had a lot going on. Maybe too much. Time alone after such a whirlwind can hit hard. I needed to get away yesterday and be alone. It was comforting just to think. Then I went to my meeting. It all comes together if we just turn it over.

Thats interesting christine. I can experience pretty powerful emotions but in a way that allows me to move through them. its like charting a course through stormy sea. It might feel dramatic, but I would not call it a drama. What i mean is sometimes I can study these ? reactions in a way that helps me see things more clearly.
but if that is not he case, then it is pretty unpleasant to suffer needlessly. anyway it sounds like you are back on track now. thanks for sharing that.
