90 meetings in 90 days? [View all]

I used to believe that was absurd. Tracking back to Monday, I've been to two F2F and three online meetings. And, I'm going to talk to my manager about changing my schedule at work so I can have more evenings off. I don't for the life of me understand why there are no meeting at 3am, but since the rooms are open in the evening, I'm going to find more evenings.

Yep, Old Codger, I'm in the pink cloud right now. I know it won't stay like this.

But hey, I got out of the way of the addict and he just declared to the world that he's an addict (refused to admit that when I was doing all the nasty things that landed me in nar anon) and he's went into inpatient treatment today! Of course, I have read plenty about how it doesn't always stick but there's always hope and in the meantime, I am working my tail off to help myself get well. The addict has his own higher power and his recovery is his/her/its job, not mine.
