GOD, AA

"To Trust and Rely on GOD".

THAT is the most powerful statement i took away from last night's AA Big Book Step Study Meeting. GOD is the BASIS of AA. a belief in a "higher power", obviously GOD, is how we not only stay sober a day at a time, but also live our lives on a daily basis.

the other mind-blowing statement that really stuck with me was,
"align your will with GOD'S" and all will be right in your life". WOW, am i dense or WHAT?

i've been "comin around" to AA mtgs for 20 yrs now! i NEVER heard that before!
i've never formally done the steps either, except step 1, oh, about hmmm, 16 yrs ago? 18? hmm, so, i stayed sober for 5 yrs, when we lived down the Cape, i used to go to mtgs and bring; a 6 yr old, a 4 yr old, a 2 yr old and a newborn!!! wow, i can't believe that was ME! i was soooo strong then! and right-minded!!! i was doing the right thing.  i suppose moving back up here from the Cape was a mistake, but alas, i cannot go back NOW.

what i CAN do, it START TODAY! TO TRUST AND RELY ON GOD, in ALL matters of my life!!! it sounds so simple!! why didn't i "get" it before???? hmm, dense, like i said.
i am blessed that i am in recovery and am going to ask a certain woman who spoke last night, to be my step sponsor!! i'm soooo scared about asking, but a closed mouth does not get fed right? the worst she can say is, sorry i can't right now. that's not earth-shattering :)

wow! i am sooooo filled with HOPE, hope that only HE can give me. i have had a SPIRITUAL AWAKENING!!!

i also want to go back to church, but i dont know which i should do, the old Catholic route? or the born again Christians who think AA is an un-necessary cult??????? i am going to write to one of my followers who is a spiritual woman, also an inspiration to me. i hope there is a way to private msg her :O  can't you touch on someone's profile and pm them???? 

ok, i need to close for now, so i can go do that :)

HALLELUJAH!!!! and PRAISE GOD!!!

yet another update

ok, i'm loving the special "tags" from SHABBY BLOGS (DOT) COM :)  they are truly lovely.

i am totally unsatisfied with the way my sidebar IS.
i feel i need to prioritize things other than myself.
i see other people putting their; about me, followers, friends and links wayyy up in the scheme of things. i have just put pics up......it is too late to change it tonight, alas,
i will have to wait until tomorrow to fix that problem....
i'm also afraid i'll screw it up if i DO move things around.
but i DID feel successful in inserting those "tags", they are amazing, btw!!!
i ADORE shabbyblogs. i only wish i could get past the PINK thing and go all scrapbook,
like some others, alas again, can't do it.
i DID, however, save "headers" from SB, which i will be able to use on the 2nd page in using those frames to frame the pics of the children, inSTEAD of the way i have it now.
TOTALLY not satisfied with how it looks at all!!!!
goodness, i have a freeweb account, it is gorgeous!!!!! why can't i master THIS??
ahhh well, tomorrow is another day :)

also NOT keeping that sig, way too bulky!!!!
work on THAT tomorrow as well :)

i want to thank SAM for her lovely comment, wow! i'm sooo excited!
why am i so dastardly immature? for some reason, on Blogger, i don't feel "worthy".
out in the real world, i am very much social, a schmoozer for sure, i LOVE people :) 
i will have to reflect and pray on why i feel so unworthy HERE...

g'night and GOD Bless you ALL

oh Glory!!!! i got my first comment :)))

thank you Stacy!!!!!!!!!!!!! muahhzzz!!!! i now have your awesome badge on my sidebar!! i just rearranged my entire sidebar, it was not flowing very well, plus! i wanted my FRIENDS' badges to be wayyy above my blog archive :)  i did lots of tweaking and i think it looks pretty neat! i want to add another pic or 2 of me, there are NOT many photogenic ones to choose from, alas....so it may take a while before i decide on some, or just 1 or 2.
i have been branching off into Blog-Frog and all the communities that come along with that, whew!!! it's very hard for me to keep up! i keep getting sidetracked and opening tab after tab :O i must have 20+ tabs open in just THIS firefox, i have six firefoxs' open :O lolol....

a TRUE MIRACLE FROM GOD happened tonight!!! i was actually able to apply the steps TO MY LIFE!!! without going into too much gory detail, i made a mistake and went to drop off homer's dvds, on my way to the meeting. bad BADDDD move :O  didn't notice the red truck with Maine plates, wow, how i missed that i'll never know!! anyways, homer wasn't home! his DAD answered the door! omgg (oh my good GOD), i hugged his dad, then his mom. then his mom started ripping into me. dad said, "i'm goin outside for a smoke". i should've taken that as my cue to split, dumb blonde...nope, i sat there and cried and listened to her tell me how much she HATES me, wow! hate is such a strong word! she can't accept that five years after breaking up, me and jeff can be friends? w.e. instead of ripping her, and believe ME, i HAVE the goods on THAT fam, i could've gone into how she let alan, the oldest, STAY IN THE HOME, after they found out he was RAPING jeff's twin sis julie :O w.e. none of my business. inSTEAD!! a true MIRACLE occured!!!!! i applied the steps of AA in my life, as it was happening!!!! i finally had had enough of her abuse and said, "i'm sorry you hate me mum, i love you and the whole family AND I ALWAYS WILL". wow, go me!!!, course i was sobbing down the stairs and when i got outside Jeff's dad was like, "yup, that's why i left, i knew that was gonna happen". homer was there by then, i just went towards my car, crying hysterically, got in, sobbing, wow, i haven't cried like that in a long time! homer opened other door and kept asking, "what did she say to you", i said, "meeting in 5 mins, gtg", he pulled out a twenty plus some ones and said, "plz don't drink", still sobbing i drove away. down and around the corner to the arc, where the mtg was. i called dana/daddy, he answered, i was still sobbing uncontrollably, he was like OMG! after i told him most of what she had said, in ripping and shredding my soul, aka "soul-murdering" me, he comforted me. i asked him if i was a good person, he said, of course, you can't let one evil bitch, who's obviously whacked, get to you. i said, i know, but i LOVED living on Beals Island Maine with them in 2000. i still love them. now i understand why homer wouldn't let me come to gramp's funeral last june, it all makes sense now :O EUREKA!!! his mom hates me with such passion and venom that he didn't want me around it. gotcha homie, no worries, won't be stoppin in to visit mum & dad ANY time EVER....sad tho, i really DID love them, especially Jeff's twin Julie, i called her Jules, she was the sunshine to his dark. i now accept the fact that i will never see any of them ever again. unless i decide to be a wise-ass when i inherit, and go and buy the biggest house on Beals Island and see her at the IGA ev week, lol....no, i'll find a DIFF town to move to, downeast for sure, but NOT Beals. i WILL go there, but i won't stop in....alas...more destruction from my alcoholism....i did not, however, deserve THAT. even daddy said, go into the meeting, don't go out and drink. i had NO desire to! i was up for that meeting!! after the mtg, i stopped by Cath's house and watched her frame pix and we chatted and she told me how proud she was that i applied the steps to a horrible situation and handled myself with dignity and self-respect, to a raving lunatic, lol, funny Cath ;)  i will be sure to pray for mum for as long as it takes for me to feel ok and "over" everything she said to me, distorted tho it was. so spending time with recovery people is so wonderful! then grabbed a coolata w/whipped cream and headed home! now it's getting super late, afte midnight, so i've got to go to bed now. i was to be up before Shi tomorrow, to feel her forehead and call the school. poor baby :(  course i'm going to get it 100 times worse with my lung disease---alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency.....alas, that's part of being a parent, a parent who is sober and AVAILABLE to my almost all grown up kids <3
k, niteynite.
