Postponed next week's dr's appt, giving me 8 days. I stayed up all night drinking and playing poker. Won about a half million semi-meaningless tokens last night (won $250 in real money when I turned them in last time) I hate that game.
One bright spot. My daughter called me before I was too ripped and thanked me for mowing her lawn. She had just got home from church. She wanted to talk about her experience and I discovered for the first time how much spiritual discernment she has. She's looking for LOVE and fruit of the SPIRIT - not the law and commandments.
It completely blew me away. When she was younger I took her to at least a dozen different churches - from the full gospel to the baptist. She knew most of the hymns and praise songs by heart.
Anyway, she quit going altogether about 4 years ago (me too) and I was surprised she went to a Wednesday night service. She's searching.
So I'm sick, hoping I quit drinking forever, and happy about my daughter. I'm also sore after a day of gardening and mowing.
I feel like there's hope.
