More Girls

So I guess this is the week that my Higher Power wants me to notice friendships. Wednesday another woman in the program invited me to the Red Sox game. It started out as a couples thing, which would have been scary but then her boyfriend couldn't come so she invited 2 other women and we all went into Boston to the game. It was really fun. Lots of silliness. The other 2 women really knew nothing about baseball so we had lots of splainin' to do. Manny was right in front of us and another fan and I fought over who he liked best since we both claimed to be his girlfriend. We sang Happy Birthday to her poor husband later. Lots of beer drinkin' going on too especially the guys sitting behind us who did not shut up for the entire game. Really didn't bother me except when I saw a Guiness walk by. That didn't bother me either except that I remembered that I liked Guiness. Or the idea of Guiness is more like it. But it was fun...and we had great meetings on the way to the game and on the way home.

This morning a friend I met online here, came to my morning meeting. That was very special and I hope she got as much out of that meeting as I did. We have helped each other stay sober through this forum and emails and it was nice to share that with the group. Some people are afraid of the internet and for me it has become a wonderful tool that I perhaps would not have gotten sober without. So not only have I discovered more meaning in the friendships I already had, I am establishing new friendships based upon the principles of this program and for that I will be forever grateful.
