Grateful Dead
working on 10 days here, not doing very good tonight
trying to stay sober , not doing very good job, wondering if there is meeting around area, cant do AA or NA god stuff
Hey friends - just putting some feelers out there if anyone knows about a Wharf Rat meet up scene for the Furthur shows this Spring/Summer?? I plan to hit Pittsburgh on the 30th and All Good in July. It would be great to connect with others and help to carry the message to those that might be suffering.
If nothing is planned for All Good then lets pull something together?! It only takes two of us for a meeting!
take it slow.
Wow!
I was just kicking in 1995 when I found out about the Wharf rats. One of the new comers in my homegroup was a Deadhead, and he explained the concept to me.
So far, I've been clean and sober for 15 years.
I still play music. If you are in Houston, come meet me at Last Concert Cafe, for a Sunday Jam
Only a few other musicians have given me guff for NOT using, but I know I sound better and enjoy it more when I'm clean. I'm not troubled by what I miss by being clean, I'm more troubled by what others miss by being messed up.
today starts my 4th month without a beer or anything else alcoholic. Got a ways to go to match my record of 3 years, 8 months, and 10 days, but it's a start. And I thank the good Lord everyday.
God bless the fans.
You didn't nix Hunter in your list.
But August is not a girly name at all:
(from the Oxford dictionary)
# [adjective] of or befitting a lord; "heir to a lordly fortune"; "of august lineage"
Synonyms: grand, lordly
# [adjective] profoundly honored; "revered holy men"
Synonyms: revered, venerable

Well, I will have 3 years here on March 13!!!! yay! We are expecting a baby in August and I am struggling with Grateful Dead/hippie boy names. I love Althea or Berkeley for a girl....as for boys, I do not want Dupree, Franklin, Ashbury, Jack, Jed, Jerry, Phil, Bob, Bill, Mickey, Samson, Reuben, Quinn, John, Stephen, Casey, Lesh....any ideas? I think August is too girly for real life....HELP!!!
I just created a brand new Java Based Chat Room where concert-goers who have chosen to live drug and alcohol free can hang out...plan online meetings and talk about the tunes that touched our lives.
Our primary purpose is to make ourselves available to anyone who feels we may have something they want. We offer support, strength, fellowship and hope.
We are a group of friends sharing a common bond, providing support, information and some traction in an otherwise slippery environment.
I hope to see you all there!!
here is the link to the room:

Hey tea2trey, hang in there, Dude. you've heard all this before, and some may find it boring, but go to meetings! Do the Steps! get a sponsor! I found for myself that I need to do these things if I want to stay sober, or clean, whatever. Staying clean/sober is as hard for me as getting clean/sober, I put down the chemicals and booze and I'm still JUST AS CRAZY. I have a few years now and it does get better! You have to work at it every day, though. We forget how bad it was and start thinking it's a good idea to "pick up" again. ((WRONG ANSWER)) It always gets worse. Peace and love to all who choose to live life unaltered.
