Hey I love that cauliflower crust recipe!!! Must try, must try...

Good morning all, I have not been a regular on this thread, but would like to be. Today is I think day 23, anyway I am working my way up to having 4 weeks AF (this time around!). Feels great. I have been on all these threads, and different areas in MWO, and like an old colleague once used to say to me, when we were working in the midst of various felony cases:
Quote:
"I've seen two world fairs and a goat-roping... But I've never seen NOTHING like this!"
It's amazing, what goes on around here. This morning there's a guy asking about FLIGHT SCHOOLS!!! And a person asking for help in a crisis, who was advised by one member to just get drunk!

I want to get away from some of the Wild West aspect of the life of recovery (spent far too much time in my Wild Wests of my own making, and involved also, all my adult working life, in the crises and disasters of other people) and focus on the threads that are all about getting alcohol out of our lives. So that's my plan for getting the most out of MWO and avoiding getting sucked into too much of the other stuff.

DG (and others here), the elderly parent situation is one I am also involved deeply in, an 88-yr old mother who was very difficult to start with now has Alzheimer's and it has pretty much dominated my life for the last 2 months... before that, her presence in my life was toxic but not all-consuming... It was one of my "reasons" for getting drunk, which of course did not help. I am doing much better about all that without the alcohol... but it is still very, very challenging, in a number of ways...

best wishes all,

wip
