Hey People!
I don't know if you ever receive these - or how many 'mailing lists' you're on - but I just received almost a DOZEN 'spam-mail' surveys in the past day.
ALL of this spam pertains to surveys wanting to know my preferences for certain alcoholic beverages! All stuff I cannot drink.
Haha!
Darn - now that I am sober and recovering, I am not going to win the following prizes:
* a 1.5Gig MP3 Player
* 12 Free Hardcover books with the purchase of 1 book for only $4.99US
* a package of coupons redeemable at some USA location that I can't get to (for Wine products)
* a Coors Light cooler
* a ('nother beer company) ballcap w/matching T-shirt
* sports tickets for 2 to some US game that I can't get to anyway (lol)
* $100 cash, redeemable with 6 (Beer brand) proofs of purchase
And a Kokanee bottle opener if I just print a coupon out and take it to a participating liquor store haha.
I'm kinda ticked off 'bout losing that MP3 Player - however, the money I save by not drinking ought to allow me to buy a whole bunch of batteries now for my old MP3 Player, eh?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh It's good to be sober tho'.....
Have a great day!

Still laughing about the Spiders
Alcoholic and Crackhead Spiders beware! We KNOW what you're up to - we're on to you bigtime!
I am trying to track down whoever it was that engineered that Spiders On Drugs video! lol
I want to enlist that person to help make 'Anti-Drug' videos especially for my blog.
If anyone out there has a lead on who actually did that, let me know.
'Til then - please continue to pray for the Crack Spider's Bytch!
(co-dependency sucks, I imagine - whether you're a spider or not eh? Not that I know what it's like to be a spider or a Crack Spider's Bytch)
LOL
teeray~~

"Daily Dose" Will Be At The Bottom
I decided recently to start posting some common 'Daily' messages that can be found in 12-Step Literature.
Since I read literature about addictions from more than one 12-Step organization, I already realized that sometimes I'll post from 'Daily Reflections' material, sometimes from other recovery sources, so just be aware that 'Daily Dose' could be from N.A., G.A., A.A., M.A., or any other recovery source - including, from time to time, an 'Alternate' recovery source such as a 16-Step (Charlotte Kasl) or SMART Recovery information.
I realize that I only posted to the blog twice, as well...
I had posted on a daily basis since I started last week - but left almost every post in 'draft' mode until I could figure out which kind of daily message would be most appreciated. I wondered whether to offer a short daily 'menu' of AA, NA, and an Alternative daily reading each day (which left me tryin' to decide WHICH Alternative source would be best) - to try to cover different perspectives...lol
Leave it to me, a recovering addict - to make things complicated!
Haha - a friend finally told me, "For gosh-sakes - just put whatever you want - down at the BOTTOM and readers can choose to look or not. That way you won't offend anyone by occasionally switching sources." Of course, she also rolled her eyes at me.
I deserve that, I suppose, haha
So that's how I'll do it now, anyway - I'll just change the form at the bottom each day.
Any die-hard 12-Step members who really REALLY dislike other sources - won't have to read the Daily Dose at the top of the blog. They won't need to sort through any of the 'complications' that I had been wondering about. Anything 'Daily' will now be found at the bottom of the blog under that psychedelic-looking banner I recently made. By the way - don't look at that for a long time if you have relapsed and are 'on something' because it will make you pass out pretty quickly lol.
NO I WAS NOT ON SOMETHING WHEN I MADE THAT
haha
I like it - it's staying.
BTW - putting the "Daily Dose" at the bottom, having explained that there will be several sources I will draw from - now also gives me license to select different DAYS, too (I decided this 'cos it's MY BLOG)...so if I'm havin' a really bad day and want to be reminded of something SWEET - I might post a July 15th Sunny-time 'Daily' reading in the middle of December's snowstorms during the Xmas season or something. Xmas isn't my favourite time of year at all, so thank goodness it's only May right now - 'cos I won't have to do any 'adjusting' for a while lol.
Readers beware muhahaha
(I also left a typo in this post that I noticed after I hit 'publish' - but I'm gonna still leave it there just to see if anyone even notices it HAHA - I'm thinkin' my OCD-inspired friend will find it, and I MEAN THAT with the greatest kindness 'odc-friend.' Wow I came back all the way through the 'edit' process in blogger just to type that I am not going to change my typo lol)
Just for Today...
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee HAPPY!!

April 29/07 Daily Dose From Bill's Book
DAILY REFLECTION FOR APRIL 29
"GROUP AUTONOMY"
Some may think that we have carried the principle of
group autonomy to extremes. For example, in its
original "long form," Tradition Four declares: "Any
two or three gathered together for sobriety may call
themselves an A.A. group, provided that as a group
they have no other affiliation" . . . But this ultra-
liberty is not so risky as it looks.
