Checking in, saying hi.

Reached tentatively back in the closet today for the "aspiration jeans." You know, the ones you aspire to fit into without feeling like you're wrapped in a boa constrictor. Not even tight!!! Take that AV. It's amazing the goals you can reach without a bottle in your hand. Or a wine glass, in my case.

Still here, still sober, still so very, very grateful for my SR community.

Coming up on 4 months. This one was L O N G. Life was mean. Didn't knock me down, out or over this time, though. And, as I am learning, nothing is as bad as it seems if you just sit back, take a breath and handle one thing at a time.

I miss this place- I haven't been here much this week, and I'm hoping to spend some time and get to know some newbies and say hi to my friends- give some support if I can and take some, of course!

Have a great weekend, all!

Nice to see you, as always, Viking GF.

It must have been so re-affirming to get into those aspiration jeans.

So I take it your "aspiration" was looking pretty fine in them jeans? You probably need some red high heels as well.

Love the thread.

Awesome, VikingGF! You're my hero for getting into your aspiration jeans! When I open the closet, mine look at me like, "dooooon't even think about it, gurl."

Proud of you Viking. Bet you didn't lie on the bed to zip them either.
