Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
To know how to wait is the great secret of success. -De Maistre
Do you ever have days or weeks when nothing seems to come together? The people you are looking for are out of town, the product you ordered is delayed, and you get everyone's answering machine. Finally, you throw your hands up and declare, "I give up-I'm going to a movie!" That may indeed be the best strategy, for the universe is giving you a message that this is not the right time to try to make anything happen. It may be the perfect time for you to step back and nurture your spirit. If you pay attention to the cycles of your experience, you can make them work for you, rather than letting them overwhelm you.
Periods of nothing coming together are often followed by periods of everything coming together. After a week or month of frustrating attempts to make things happen, suddenly everything clicks; everyone calls back the same day, business deals that were on hold fall into place, and everything that was broken gets fixed. It's as if the universe was laying back to build up momentum for a huge leap forward. Don't be discouraged. If you've done all you can to make something happen, and nothing seems to be coming of it, get the hint. Let go. Turn it over to God. Do something else more rewarding or fun. It's all in the timing.
Help me attune to Your divine rhythm. Let me find Your will in time.
I dance with life. stretching and resting in rhythm with the universe.

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz

for me it is coming together right now after a month....I have business I am self employed as driving instructor and I have just opened a new chapter of income from this business since for the last month I had no lessons. Thursday I got a new student, then two on Sunday, another old student took her test on Monday and then one of the new ones called today to go again. Then another new student called for tomorrow, he is required by state to take 20hrs of lessons. I am truly blessed. I will now be getting my unemployment cut off for a week or so because I am spending so many hours in self employment. It is fantastic.
week ago I was worried how I could possibly pay the bills and rent on time.
hugs bill
BTW Chris says you are a cool cat so I know I can speak freely,,,LMAO.
@ any rate, do ya ever get that half laugh where yer lips are shut and the nose exhale has that smirk to it. Kinda like you fully expect shit to happen and you are OK with it??? Gotta throw the head nod in to. LOL.
I just firmly believe when it's time it's time, both hand goes up, you are defeated. "FULL BLOWN SURRENDER' Even yer best friend alcohol had finally turned it's back on ya. Gotta let somebody else call the shots.
The up's and downs,, all the time. AA has gave me some great
wisdom and tools that I can apply in my life as it rolls. Steps and principles totally coincide with my program and business runs smooth.
But believe me I know shit is going to happen all during the day, but I can breathe and know I have time to process things and not react on my first thought. I'll RUN it through the steps,,,,serenity prayer,,,,Not much bothers me anymore.
gonna get that book, thanx
How nice how life becomes so much easier in every aspect when we stop resisting. Things happen when they're supposed to. Firm believe in that.
Thanks, Billy. :-)
I heard a phrase a few years back in AA, "God is in the pauses". Wow, very powerful. It says to me that if we do have these periods of holding off from frenetic activity and making decisions on the run, and have these quiet times, we have much more capacity to listen to out inner voice, our intuiation, some would say God.
