With only 45 days, I wake up in the morning feeling completely exhausted because my brain is on "high speed internet" and has a permanent connection! I am a romance novel addict, but thought I needed to give it up because it wasn't productive. I didn't realize how much serenity I lost when I stopped reading those no-thought books. I don't know HOW to relax or meditate. From what I've heard, here and at meetings, most of us are overacheivers, OCD etc. I fit into both of those categories. I have to put the mail in order (smallest to largest) before I open it! There is a table at work that has staplers and tape dispensers on it. I straighten it AT LEAST 20 times a day, keeping everything at perfect 45 degree angles (I really never even noticed that I did that until someone pointed it out). Who does that?!?!? Now, I have a new boss that is ADHD and OCD... we are in serious trouble!!!! I have to be the focused one! God help us!!! LOL P.S., have any suggestions on HOW to meditate???? Thank you for being here, Princess... You are the rock of the blog! It's Friday!!! Liteagain Shelly Dawn, I feel your pain!

They disappear for various reasons such as getting better and getting back with whatever ex dumped them, they transfer to in-patient, you know... once again it reminds me- this is a SPIRITUAL program, a person or groups of people won't moderate me or fill me, only my relationship with my higher power will do that!

Hi Shelly dawn. Missed you. Honey, you r on the right track. Meditation, setting time aside for yourself. Everyone deserves time, and needs that time, for just themselves. Set that time aside for you, and do what relaxes you. Meditation, walk on beach, reading a book, hitting a meeting...whatever relaxes you. The world won't stop, but you'll feel better. And it helps our recovery also. I don't know: my opinion. How bout the other bloggers??? Everyones been quiet lately. Keep writing Shelly!!! LOL. Hi Shelly dawn. Missed you.

Long time no blog... it has been one of those life is happening and I am NOT an over achiever and I, of course, do NOT over do things and I do HAVE it all together... evidenced by (VISUAL) backing up out of the drive way while feeling so together and multi-tasker, master level... chatting to my mom about her current problem ONLY to think... something is really wrong, "uhhh mom, I am talking on the HOUSE PHONE AND DRIVING DOWN THE STREET!" i looked like magnum pi with one of those old school huge cell phones with its one huge case!!!! So, missing ingredient lately- MEDITATION. Life happens but balance is key and in order to maintain balance, I need moments of quiet brain time! Any comments or suggestions on maintaining calm and balance in your life? Hi to all!
