why do I feel like persona non grata in this thread? No one greets me or even admits to my being here. I am unwelcome so will stop posting in "your" thread. I'm sick of being ignored and know when I'm not wanted so I willl just stay out of here. Thanks for nothing. and it's good to know you welcome newcomers but not me. I'm glad my sobriety doesn't depend on the "friendship" here since I feel no friendship.

Yes it really does feel good, because it reminds me the way I was and the hopelessness I felt. There is a good bunch of people who attend that group I was at tonight. People who really care. I love it and feel loved. But you have to give to recieve.

I was talking to my sponsee tonight and she was so amazed how some of the women came up to her and said they wanted to personally say hello and I was explaining the same thing, that its a program that you give back, kinda like paying it forward. She is shy and she said she feels funny when walking into a meeting. I suggested that when she goes into a meeting, to extend her hand first and introduce herself and she will see how rewarding that will be and it will help her overcome her shyness.

spoke to her over the weekend, she said she isn't suppose to use the phone and was sneaking the phone call, so I don't know when I will hear from her again. I have to sit down and write her a letter. I wish I could just text or email it, lol, haven't really sat and wrote a letter in a while. But I will do it. She is so loved in the program, many of the women ask me about her all the time. They were happy she went back into rehab.
That's sad about NY girl, I was thinking about her too. I'm glad you brought her up tonight.
