That is good news. I'm going to try her in a bit. I don't have texting though... I disabled it as a precaution when the teen got her phone

He said no cuz Im a girl. However, he has committed himself to helping me find a FEMALE sponsor.
I balked....oh no no...I want the eaier softer way.....then he told me:
"The whole idea of recovery is learning to live ouitside your comfort zones. Booze was comfort. Drugs were comfort. Isolation was comfort. Maybe for you....men were comfort and women were not. So guess what? We are now on a mission to find you a girl sponsor."

Its so weird...so foreign to me.....but Im just at peace with it.
I thought I'd be crushed if I asked and he said no. Instead my friend Lou helped me to see that I have some stretching and growing to do.
Im a happy girl.

Yay Julie!

See? Good progress... just from being brave. You'll have a sponsor before you know it. Even though I don't go to AA I do see the benefit of having women for women and men for men sponsors.

Krissy41 · 04-23-2008, 10:05 AM

I totally agree with you Gyps

Stoney

And just what is he up to?

ananda · 04-23-2008, 10:21 AM

It loooks like a big reunion going on here

I don't think we've met Krissy - pleased to meet you.

Glad you all are keeping up with Rella and letting us know.

Julie, it sounds like this guy is really nice and helpful. Glad to know your open to a female sponsor....It'll be just fine! I think of you often.

Where is Stoney? I need my stoney fix!

tanyapmc · 04-23-2008, 10:21 AM

I agree with females have female sponsor. There can be sexual tension the other way. I have observed it.

Tell me to go do my homework!!!

ananda · 04-23-2008, 10:22 AM

gypsy tears · 04-23-2008, 10:28 AM

Homework! I thought you were about done with school Tan!

I can't wait for my yoga course to start. I wonder if I'll have homework. I wonder if Tanya will pay me $10 to do it for me

.

Looking for that recipe ananda... didn't find it yet but I did find this: Varmint Recipes: Menus : gourmet.com You'll like Krissy btw but just be aware she's a little

. Like the rest of us.

I am off to shop before the kids get out of school. Be back in a few
