So glad too hear that you'e got a sponsor! Now, just one day at a time and one step at a time! Congratulations I am so proud of you!

for both of you!

scootinbabe · 08-28-2006, 08:14 PM

it really is a big deal for me. i don't ever even think of asking for help. i guess this is part of the first steps! i'm kinda excited!!

and so glad that i wasn't rejected!!

mygirls_mylife · 08-28-2006, 09:15 PM

I Got One Too!!!! Yay Us!!!!!

Good goin' Scootin. Sure was part of my first step and still is. I never thought of asking for help 'cause I was in charge and intelligent enough to figure out the answers. Problem was, I didn't know what the question was. I realized my powerlessness. I was afraid of rejection too but I haven't been rejected yet! Like someone else said, "now it's just one day and one step at a time." Like the days come in order, so do the steps. Work them that way. Your new sponsor will benefit from this also.

Way to go,

That's Wonderful Ladies..!

Kellye C · 08-29-2006, 06:56 AM

That is fantastic! Now you can get to work and learn so many things!!!! Utilize your sponsors, draw on their experiences, listen to what they have to share, be totally honest with them (even if it is uncomfortable) and allow them to get to know the real you. This will allow them to help you even more.

Hugs,
Kellye
