AA, eh?
Posted 05-02-2008 at 08:11 AM by Emimily
i think that's what an AA meeting in canada would be like... AA, eh? maybe rowan can enlighten me.
kidding, by the way. but whatevs.
the newest sponsee picked up 60 days last night, which is rawesome. she got mad at me the other night for being authoritarian - she was right. i hate it when they're right.
the other sponsee is doing fabulous, picking up 10 months on the 4th and sponsoring a new girl. our sponsor family is thriving!
plus, a remarkable woman who i LOVE is starting up a step study with us. that rules, because between all of us we've got maybe 12 years of sobriety, and this lady's got like 15. and she's amazing! i'm quite excited. i actually saw her at my doctor's office... i was there to get an annual, and i was really nervous, and she walked out! it was a total god thing, really blew me away. my nerves calmed down, i got through the appt., and even cracked a (pretty bad) joke with the doctor before i left. sobriety, man... it kills me! in that good way.
hmm... started counseling. i went monday, i go again monday. i am learning that i'm not bananas, just going through grief. i really really miss my dad a lot, and that's okay. it's not okay to miss work, but it's okay for me to feel however i feel. i asked the therapist to try to find me a book or something so that i have something to DO when i get all bunged up inside. hopefully it's a good one. my mom told me to read "why do i think i'm nothing without a man?" jeeeesus mom! need me to read between the lines there? but i know it's just cause she loves me, and my track record is less than stellar.
andy got a DWI last weekend. sucks. he was almost at a year in sobriety, but when we broke up he just... yeah. i don't know. romances and finances, really. our friend went to the jail to pick him up because i wasn't going down there, no way. i was proud of myself for that, staying out of the cheap drama and really trying to walk the walk. it's weird, when i got sponsees i had no idea just how accountable they'd make me. i love those girls!
mm... so it's friday, and i'm super bored at work. i wonder what the SR kiddos are doing this weekend. i've got some plans, which is nice. i'm going to get dinner with my girls tonight, then my home group. tomorrow we're having a jewelry party! i'm so nerdily excited. my step-mom's coming up, we're going to have lunch then she's coming to the jewelry party. i'm baby-sitting for a guy i know (and LOVE) from the rooms... he has two daughters, i'm pretty stoked about that. sunday, i'm playing softball with my friends jenn and hollie, it's a double header, should be a good time. sunday night i'll meet with the spons, and... yeah. full of good times, good folks, etc.
i think i'm gonna start a new blog about my people. like a living gratitude list, or something. yes!

Thanks for your blog, Em. It's a good reminder for me - and what I need to be doing, but haven't been.
