“When you graduate from DUI school, are you going to be able to keep your cap and gown?” I sarcastically quipped at George with a snicker after ducking to avoid a friendly blow last night as I carried him home.
“I am going to buy a t-shirt that says and all I got from therapy was this lousy AA meeting.” George replied, laughing with good-natured humor as well.
I was acting so silly last night that George asked me very seriously if I had a few beers or three. I swore to George that I was sober as a judge and that you can actually have fun sober as well.
“I am just high on life tonight!” I exclaimed further perpetuating the silliness.
It is certainly neat to have these positive feelings about life – not all dour and morose as can sometimes overcome me.
Good to See Charlie After a Hiatus…
Charlie’s car is on its very last legs these days. Charlie drives a 100 mile round-trip to work daily. His current car has 230,000 miles (which is amazing for a Chevrolet) on the clock and is starting to have major problems. Charlie borrowed my Civic, after saying pretty please, to use for a few days until he can buy a new car. It was like having your very own child leaving the nest for the first time. I am very protective of my Hondas.

It's a shame that George doesn't realize that AA could offer him a true solution. Rather than scoff at it, he might actually get something from listening.
Just thinking aloud here... maybe George's sense of humor can be used to your advantage. What if you go to a meeting together and agree that you can cut up on three things after the meeting.. if only he will attend and turn off his Inner Critic to the best of his ability?
Isn't it great that you are in a position to now help folks who have been a help to you in the past! What good friends you have in your life!
Love,
Grannie
You make me smile with your writings.
