I went to a meeting today!

[Critters2]

I'm Critters, and I'm powerless over my emotions.

I've been kind of blowing off meetings and step work and contact with my sponsor lately, and it shows. Just lots of things have not been going well for me, even basic things like my house is really a mess. I've been depressed, uninterested in life, needing to do my EA stuff. So, today I got to a meeting, and it felt great. People were glad to see me there, which felt good. Some said they'd been concerned, which felt good, too.

I may get to a meeting tomorrow. The Tuesday meeting is in the middle of the afternoon, so I can only go if things at the office are getting done, and I can be gone for an hour. Or I could call it my lunch hour, and work through my usual lunch hour. My dad is having an angiogram Thursday, and I'm going home for that. So, don't know when I'll get to another meeting for a week or so. But I will take my blue book home, and my affirmations book, to try to keep doing the work.

I know that my life has more structure, and just runs more smoothly when I am serious about working the program. So, I need to stay committed to it. Just for today, I have a program. I may not work it perfectly, but I have it. Just for today.

Thanks for letting me share!

3. I too am powerless over my emotions.......Critters, you are not alone.

Came into EA over 25 years ago. Saved my sanity more than once. I try to take it one minute at a time..When I don't go to EA, I go to other 12 step programs. It appears that I got more than one problem...take care....Stuart G.

5. Hi, Stuart! It's great to see another EA'er here!

I've been known to go to other 12 step meetings, too, when I need a mtg and there's not an EA meeting nearby or at the time I really need support.

And yes, it does save my sanity...when I work it. Need to turn my life over to my HP. Why is that so hard?

Thanks, Stuart!
