Dad was worried today that I insist on doing the hospital bed deliveries alone. The bed parts are heavy, but I would rather do it by myself.
"I don't want a third wheel," I told him. "Somebody to be under my heels."
"Have it your way," he replied, patting me on my back.
I still enjoy work for the most part although a large part of my wages are going to pay Helen's Friday cleaning and cooking. I already have a meal planned for Helen: meatloaf (my favorite), creamed potatoes, english peas, and biscuits. I can taste it now and can't wait.
This morning was my daily AA meeting. It was a small group of wise members with a lot of sobriety and I got a lot out of it. I sometimes have to remind myself that Alcohol is dangerous to someone like me and today's meeting did that. A man spoke of having several years sobriety and "going back out" as they like to say in AA. Lest I ever forget my humble experiences of homelessness and drunkenness of several years ago.

I am like you and several others who are in aa who like to be loners. I am happy for you that with your feeling like a loner you reached out and went to a meeting. Good for you! The meal that you are planning sounds really yummy. I hope that you have a good rest of your evening.
I understand being a loner. I've been one for most of my life. Your dinner sounds too good!
I hope those peas are 'Marrowfat' peas Andrew.. Taste great! :)
The meal sounds yummy Andrew. I'm betting you're over the 'bad karma' days.
LOL about your neighbors kissing. My first thought was maybe one of them wasn't exactly your neighbor. I know that was bad. Anyway, you'll still be kissing someone like that when you're 50. Trust me.
Yup. Reminds me of when you spoke of the insidious nature of alcohol, and that is so, so true. Serious props for your path within recovery. You are awesome. Enjoy that yummy meal tomorrow:)
