MY LIFE 2/17/10

I'll be so Glad WHEN SPRING COMES! I don't hate the cold but its tough when you're out in it. I started taking some cold medication and its really got me feeling drowsy and sometimes nauseated I don't know if its reacting bad with my high-blood pressure meds or what but its got me feeling lousy,this morning i stumbled after I had gotten something outta my backpack at the Samaritan house the place where I eat breakfast at least until April 25th and people thought I was high. Actually I've been sober for 45 months and 16 daze I do count the daze but I've lost track I'll tell you tomorrow, I go to A.A.and N.A. meetings almost every day I go to this meeting on Simpson called "gotta catch a meeting at 5" and man its wild the sharing that I hear in there is a lot different than the sharing that I hear at the "triangle club" which is mainly white both are great. sharing is when an alcoholic or addict talks about how he has overcome his or her addiction and its called sharing your experience, strength, and hope. I rarely share because they do it different her in Atlanta, different from Louisiana which is different from Texas which conducts its meetings differently than people in California, I like the meetings in Louisiana because they open up with the lenght of their sobriety. like " hi my name is Eddie and I've been sober since MAY 1ST OF 06"I like that because then you know how long someone who's sharing has been sober. my sobriety is the most important thing in my life right now period,its no.1 because even if I hit the LOTTERY tonight (its 40 MILLION!) it would do me no good if I'm not sober I'd be dead in 6 months. I'm gonna go looking for a job today I was told that the westin hotel in buckhead was hiring and the varsity on north ave also,so I'm gonna go check out a couple of spots. I'M TIRED OF TYPING!
