Coffee today at Bagels by the Sea - the women. Added to our ad hoc group are the women from the treatment center. Wonderful to share with them. It was very good to see Carol and Janet an Beth. Coffee is better than a meeting almost.
I learned about a new option to investigate - refuge to recovery - or the Buddhists path to recovery. The meet at the Alano Club in Astoria on Monday. Does intriguing.
Coffee is my choice of indulgence. I enjoy and take pleasure in coffee. A cherished moment is very early in the morning, in the fall, in my Mothers hospital room, my shift to there with her so she was calmed and not alone. She was lucid, really the last time. I brought coffee from the cafeteria. In those days, hospital cafeteria's began to serve "gourmet" coffee.
Also - forgive. Forgive yourself, myself for certain things that have gone on - things I have done. Not brought water on a ski trip and lied about it. Being a horrible step Mom. Other things that I feel shame about.
Be humble, listen carefully, speak slowly listen closely. Be grateful. Smile, be a nice person. Someone said build a life don't live a life.
Walk, walk and walk. Notice the right hip. There is coffee at the end.
