I'm so early in my recovery but I have a great boyfriend who supports me in every step that I take. I feel like he's taken on the role of my sponsor. He doesn't have a drinking problem at all but hasn't touched alcohol in who knows how long. He'd just rather drink Mountain Dew. Lol He's planned out things that he knows I enjoy doing, like playing chess, taking walks, going to parks outside of the city where I can take my cat on a walk etc. He makes sure I do those things when I'm feeling down. I live with him too so it makes it perfect that it's a no alcohol household. I'm also happy I found this message board. Everyone here is so helpful and kind. I'm looking forward to a sober future! I'm excited actually! Just a happy post! Hope everyone has a fabulous Tuesday!

Ragdolls have a very dog like demeanor though. It's quite cute. He loves walking around in the grass. We have to take him outside of the city though because he thinks everyone and everything loves him. He'd go up to a rabid dog walking down the street and try to make friends if he could! He has no fear of cars either.
They get huge though!! The males top out at 20 lb!!!
My Henry is around 13ish lb currently. Still a growing bundle of sunshine!
Lol if you can't tell... I'm a bit of a cat lady hahaha

Oh, I understand now. Rags are the best of the best. My little tortie, not so understanding.
I will rescue all the cats for you.
Ugh. No, I won't. I've rescued four of them so far. I'm down to two. Two at a time is enough.

he sounds like someone who knows how to beat addictive habits / behaviors etc.. Your lucky you have him your probably even luckier that you appreciate and are greatful for having him!
lot of people have no one. or have someone whos not helpful. or they got the greatest person in the world but fail to see it and would prefer to demonize the person instead etc..
I dunno sounds to me like your able to see the good things in life and latch on to them. Thats something I have to be mindful of myself it is not something that comes easy to me.

Hi Rosie,
I'm another one....alcoholic who loves her cats. I also live in a sober home. Both my husband and our son are recovering alcoholics. I was the last hold out. Your post was so upbeat & positive.
We have a Maine Coon and a mixed breed...just love the photo you shared.
