Merry Christmas

My name is Charlie, and I'm a compulsive overeater.

::Hi, Charlie!::

Three days till Christmas, and I'm caught up in the annual chaos. But I'm alive and I'm abstinent. This has been a rough patch, but I'm alive and I'm abstinent. Christ has come. Emmanuel means "God with us." I'm so grateful for the incarnation. God enfleshed. Miracle and mystery. Salvation.

I'm alive and I'm abstinent. Someday - after all the Christmas services I have to plan and lead, after my trip to visit family in Indiana - I'll post again.

Hi Charlie,

I wrote a long reply to an earlier post and then it didn't post.

I'm trying again and have a lot to ask and say...

Thank you so much for your blog,

Jay

Well that worked!

My journey almost parrellels your own down to the weight loss, sponsor pleasing and trying to live outside the strict confines of 90-day-OA. I am still on the journey and have so many setbacks. I so want my leaving 90-day to work: it was abstinence but in no way serenity. My family suffered from my constant obligation to be on the phone and I was shrinking too - no clarity or sanity to speak of. I so hope to make this path work - you are an inspiration to me,

Jane

One of the most significant things a buyer can do in the present economy is be monetarily savvy about charge cards. In the past buyers were permitted to discount enthusiasm on their Visas on their assessment form. For certain years now this has never again been the situation. Consequently, the most significant propensity purchasers can have is pay off however much of their charge card balance as could be expected.
