listen to the thunder and rain here in the Sunshine state. I am grateful to be working 11 to 7 today as it is one of the nights I get to present to the Mens BIP Virtual group. Topic: alexythima. What emotions were you fostered to show and share as a child? As a man? What emotions do you allow your children so show and share? Better yet, as a father what emotions are you modeling? Great topic. I am eager to see the discussion on this tonight. Every group is different. Two weeks ago, this topic sparked a lot of conversation in one group and the other group sat stoic with little said. Interested in this for tonight's presentation. I am grateful for another 90 minutes of serving others and counting down the hours needed to be completely certified

I am grateful I never transferred cash app payments from the app to my account...until today. I needed it. Whew, counting down to payday as I am reminded of how I got to this point. Not my addiction. My ignorance. Beating myself up for be being used and abused by my boss who I thought was a friend. Blurred lines unknowingly. Big lesson learned. Perspectives cleared up and knowledge gained.
I am grateful Shiloh is slowly finding her comfort zones. She laid next to me this morning. I was so still so not to scare her off. She has to be tired of always being on guard. I am grateful for her progress made in the past week. She allows me to hand feed her, play fetch, and touch her scruffy chin, and that is it. No loves and scratches. She will come around.
I am grateful today for Ms Anne treating me to dinner last night. We celebrated my passing the state board examination! I am certified! Certified Peer Recovery Specialist! Making business card order today! So excited about being able to serve others in this capacity!!
Today. Sober. Strong. Sober.

That sounds like an interesting group. Great topics to think about. I may have to look for some sort of men's group near me with similar meetings. Did you say that it was a virtual meeting?Congrats on passing your certification! That is a path I have been interested in myself. Although the fear of starting out on yet another path is a bit much, at least in my head it is. Thanks for putting that out there today.
