hi guys,

hope you are all well,

i'm not doing too great this morning, cause from the moment i got up at 9am, i have felt like i'm walking backwards and getting nothing done,which in turn has me stressed out.

my heart was beating so fast, like i had been running.
i think whats been happening since i got up is, i've been thinking
*what a lot of housework that has to be done, and how will i ever get through it*
and stressing myself out no-end

i've loads of things to do, but for the life of me i cant get it done!
so i decided to stop and take a brake to try get a bit of serenity back into my life by reading some acoa stuff online.

and to remember that its housework! not saving the planet lol
theres no need for me to be stressed out like this...

so i've taken a step back and had a cuppa while doing my reading, and when i am ready i will tackle the rest of the chores.

i feel much better now that i have slowed down.

heres hoping that you are all having a better day.
love in recovery.

haha!

Join the club!

Good you stop and took your time, like I am doing now... I feel really like not doing it, because... o well, I have some workers rebuilding and durst getting everything, and I know not longer after I get it cleaned it will just get ...dirty again... so why botter? LOL But thats just how it is: a never ending job. So let's take it easy. And as we AAs says: ODAAT (One Day at a Time).

By the way, Irish, I went to my first alive ACoA meeting online last weekend and I learned this ones:

3 As: Awareness, Acceptance, Action

3 Cs:
Didnt Cause it
Can't control it
Can't cure it

4 Gs
Get off his back
Get out of his way
Give him to God
Get on with your life

hi lucia,

i like the 3 As,3Cs, and 4Gs, very cool.
i've heard some of these sayings before, and they are pretty good.

hope your day turned out good....i decided that i will do the chores later, and later has come and now i'm doing it 2moro lol.
its not like the chores are going anywhere so they can wait .

lucia good for you going to your first online meeting.
what site was the online meeting on ?

love in recovery

they have 3 chat meetings a week. The hours are not so fit in my schedule, but I was able to attend the one on sunday night. Will try do it again. Been thinking of start one here. What do you think? there is not much options to ACoA chat meeting online and we could choose a time to fit most of us here.

Anybody that would like to participate in a ACoA chat meeting on Online Alano Club (here!) let me know. You can PM me, if do not wish to post, and let me know the best time it would be for you. Please tell me if you mean eastern time or whatever, my pc is set to US eastern.

And here is the site:
