Anyone else with something to celebrate?

22 years ago TODAY, after an awful 10 year run on meth/crank I
finally had to say enough is enough and quit. I haven't touched it since.
Okay, now, no one give me any shit about this one, okay? During Valentine's
Day I decorated the local AA Ukiah Fellowship Group Meeting Hall. By hand,
mind you, I cut out (I kid you not) 2486 various sized hearts made
from pink and red construction paper. I wrote positive affirmations on them
and taped them all over those freaking bare ugly boring walls. It was soooo
beautiful, but there was so much pink it looked like somebody puked up
pink Pepto Bismol all over over the place. hee hee. Well, I sent 3 pictures
into the AA Grapevine Magazine, an international magazine about sobriety
and recovery - with over 2 million readers. TODAY I was notified that one
of the photographs was selected to be in the May 2011 issue. They said
it was very creative and artistic.
It will be in the section IF WALLS COULD TALK.
Somebody peel me off the ceiling.
No white knuckling here, hon. Now that I have other medical issues in my life under control, I no longer have the desire to self-medicate. I can't explain it. It's like it doesn't exist anymore. I don't believe in the "disease" theory of addiction/alcoholism anymore. It's a dead-end road that leads nowhere, because once you believe that you have it, you're stuck with it, and it stops you from looking for the real underlying causes that cause addiction.unjonharley wrote:Are ya gonna be able to white knuckel it through another year![]()

I never have believed in the whole "I'm powerless" stuff. It never felt right in my gut. I went along with it for years, but inside I kept saying bullshit. I took my power back 6 months ago. I need empowerment and positivity in my life in order to stay on my path. I don't believe in Mr Invisible. He/She/It wasn't there when I was shooting shit in my veins or drinking myself into oblivion. Nobody saved me or lead me by the hand and said Stop This. I said stop. I said it was time to quit.
I think rehabs or whatever kinds of programs that are out there should re-evaluate how they are trying to help addicts/alkies and (1) Give people their power back, (2) Show them that it's a choice, and (3) identify the "underlying causes", such as trauma, depression, low self-esteem, or chemical imbalances such as bipolar disorder or attention deficit disorder, etc. Today I want good nutrition, meditation, the wisdon of the Dalai Lama, yoga, nature, family, friends, BM events, decorating, sewing, crafts. camping, painting, creating, being in love with my man, being a better mom, and being a full-time Grannypoo to my precious grandson. No white knuckling here. I'm happy.
Seriously. Mark my words.

I got the results of my mammogram. One of the masses was a calcium mass and it was small. Lots of women get them and it's ok to have them. The other mass was a fibrocystic mass most women get. The condition is very common and benign, meaning that fibrocystic breasts are not malignant (cancerous).They tend to be tender for the most part and they're just a pain in the ass.
Soooooo...I'm fine!! My boobies are in no danger!
I think, we should all line up at the MnG and kissem, for being ok............delle wrote:maryanimal wrote:
