Here’s a special shout out from Aimee M. Love, RFC is proud of you!  🦋

Andddddd, the prepping has begun. Oh the delicious smells we are already smelling. We can not wait to see all of our friends and family tomorrow evening during our taco event. Just a reminder this is a DRIVE THRU event, no need to get out of the car. Perfect for those of you who just picked up kids from school or are heading to cheer, football, or soccer practice. $15 gets you THREE asada tacos, beans, and rice dinner plate WITH tortilla chips on the side. If you haven't purchased a ticket, don't worry, you may purchase a plate by simply driving up and placing your order. Don't forget to tell your friends, neighbors, and please share this post. All proceeds go to supporting the women and children of Redwoods....Which alumni families are we going to see there ??

Firework stand opens tomorrow. Come buy some fireworks!

Getting out of the rut
Page 74
"Many times in our recovery, the old bugaboos will haunt us. Life may again become meaningless, monotonous, and boring."
Basic Text, p. 78
Sometimes it seems as though nothing changes. We get up and go to the same job every day. We eat dinner at the same time every night. We attend the same meetings each week. This morning's rituals were identical to the ones we performed yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. After the hell of our addiction and the roller-coaster craziness of early recovery, the stable life may have some appeal - for a while. But, eventually, we realize we want something more. Sooner or later, we become turned off to the creeping monotony and boredom in our lives.
There are sure to be times when we feel vaguely dissatisfied with our recovery. We feel as though we're missing something for some reason, but we don't know what or why. We draw up our gratitude lists and find literally hundreds of things to be grateful for. All our needs are being met; our lives are fuller than we had ever hoped they'd be. So what's up?
Maybe it's time to stretch our potential to its fullest. Our possibilities are only limited by what we can dream. We can learn something new, set a new goal, help another newcomer, or make a new friend. We're sure to find something challenging if we look hard enough, and life will again become meaningful, varied, and fulfilling.
Just for Today: I'll take a break from the routine and stretch my potential to its fullest.
