myveryown_nemesisGood Evening, you Beautiful People!
Two sleeps until my husband's surgery. The living room is all painted and tidied up and ready for company**. I had a very cool AA meeting on courage today, and I approached someone who's got that something that I want and asked if she was taking sponsees. We will talk sometime during the week to see if it would be a fit. It was a good meeting, with a strong sense of community, which is exactly what I'm looking for in a face-to-face meeting. Since I am now going to a Saturday meeting, and I am having weekly therapy sessions, I will probably drop one of the Zoom meetings. I'm currently doing Zoom meetings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Four meetings and a therapy session each week would definitely deplete my social energy battery.
I'm focusing more on the spending issues now, and my husband brought up the topic yesterday evening. I told him that I think we should put the conversation on hold until after the surgery. He agreed, and it seems like we want to talk about the same things. I'm not sure if we agree on how to handle things, but that's what the conversation will be about: working together to find solutions that work for both of us.
I have taken my credit card out of my wallet, and I will be disconnecting it from my PayPal account. I'll start giving myself a "monthly allowance" by transferring funds from our primary checking account to a small savings account I have. Then I'll hook that account up to my PayPal. I've done things like that in the past, and it usually works well for me. I've also started going through my subscriptions and eliminating those that aren't necessary.
I've started reading my HOV regularly (not exactly daily, because I sometimes forget stuff like that), and reviewing my CBA on spending. I plan to review all the Handbook work I've done regarding my reckless spending and to continue working through the tools that need my attention.
I am feeling strong in my sobriety and eating habits, and I'm ready to do more work on the reckless spending. I'm a good space right now, which is good, since I have a big week ahead, between my husband's surgery and my daughter's bridal shower.
I hope you found something beautiful in your life today, and as always, thank you for being here.
