There is a lady who takes me to my thursday face to face meeting. we have become very close and i respect her alot. She praised me thursday on the way home. She said that i have grown alot in a yaear and a half. It also reflects when i lead the meeting and share. She felt last nite's stint as a leader went partically well. She thought my share was so good.

Wow, something to be proud of. It made me feel so good. This last week went well but today[sat] looks a little shaky. I will have to pull out my toolbox this weekend as ah is back using.

anyway, let him do his thing... I have hobbies etc to do and its like 106 here in los angeles

It can be so encouraging when others see progress, mention it and compliment us.  

Service is such a great way to grow in the program. It sounds like you're really enjoying that part of recovery. It really is such a great way to build trust in ourselves and our abilities. For me, it was also a great way to build trust in others to receive with humility and without judgement what we share of ourselves in an act of service to the fellowship. Thankfully, we don't have to perform Alanon service "perfectly," or any part of recovery for that matter. I would have given up long ago if that were the case. We're loved without condition and accepted in Alanon.  Good for you for continuing to show up to do what's working for your own recovery. 

Pretty darn hot here too!  Sounds like you have a plan for doing something you personally enjoy. Beats waiting for someone else to make us happy huh ;)  Thanks for sharing your progress.  (((hugs))) TT

I agree Alyce - great job!! You should be proud and how wonderful that we have all these tools to pull out when we're in need?

Keep coming back and keep working it - it looks good on you!!!
