Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Everyone has been asking me if I ate a lot. I just smile and say, "No more than usual." the other person normally rolls eyes and goes on about how this is a holiday about abundance.

when I am eating "abundantly," there is no room for abundance in any other area; my addiction takes over. That's not abundance. That's enslavement. I'm so grateful for the food plan and the 12 Steps today so that, little by little, one day at a time, I get the opprtunity for a life that is truly abundant, according to God's plan, not mine. All I really know how to do is put myself in a tiny box with my fear and pride and ego. A big life is available to me when I establish contact with my HP and take the steps necessary to maintain and improve the contact.

Thanks to all of my recovery buddies. Hope everyone has a lovely holiday season with lots of delicious and abstinent meals!

Love,

Kasey

Thanks, Kasey - as always, you are a source of inspiration to me!!

I am so grateful to have such a wonderful support group here in Atlanta for my recovery. We've become so much more of a family than "blood relatives".

My Thanksgiving dinner with family was lovely. My meal - raw veggies, shrimp, and plain sweet potato - was abstinent, and I was grateful to be taken care of. My disease was not in the picture at all, and I enjoyed everyone's company so much more.

Hope everyone has a truly magical and beautiful holiday season.

Love,
Susan

glad you had such a happy Thanksgiving, I know I had one. I took my own Thanksgiving dinner to my daughter's. Everyone thought I would be bringing a plate of lettuce and were so surprised and how much and what I ate. I brought my own clean turkey, had a brown rice kind of dressing I created to die for and my vegetables, it was wonderful. A lot to be thankful for being abstinent.
