jumping into step 4
2025-07-16 09:00 am Good Morning, you Beautiful People!
Today, there is only one doctor's appointment, and that's for my husband, in about 30 minutes. The other Big Thing on today's calendar is already done, and that was to curb my donations for AMVETS. I usually donate to the Lupus Foundation, but they discontinued pickup in my area. That's a bit of a bummer, since I always felt it was a small way that I might be helping my brother-in-law, who has Lupus.
The smaller tasks on my list include scheduling Terminix (I went into rest-mode yesterday before getting to it), rehang the curtains, which I still haven't rehung, review and pay more medical bills*, and reschedule my upcoming hair appointment -- I've decided to let my hair grow out a smidge.
I'm feeling secure in my sobriety, my eating habits, and my spending habits. I've been listening to the Lawrie C (OA) and the Joe & Charlie (AA) Big Book talks because on the AA side of the fence, I'm jumping into Step 4. I think the work I've done with SMART will affect how I make that inventory this time around. While I wouldn't say that I'm looking forward to it, I'm also not dreading it. It's just another task I need to do to better understand myself so that I can continue to move forward in sobriety.
I hope that the Universe surprises you with something beautiful (and the Universe will -- She always does, if you're paying attention!), and as always, thank you for being here!
*Since my husband has turned 65 and is on Medicare Part A only, while still on BC/BS Federal Worker Plan, coordination of benefits has been a struggle...I just want to be sure that we are only paying our part, and not BC/BS or Medicare's parts.
