Second! lol Good for you Lisa, on the pj's and keeping to yourself =) You're doing so well on your recovery work, that I have no doubt that when the time is right, someone wonderful and just right for you will come along. Until then, ignore the Frogs!

Merry Christmas my friends! The AMAZING just keeps building, its almost to much to bare. I will share the love and light I have in my life with my family for the next two days, and be ever so grateful for all of my blessing this past year, including all of you here.

Just realized we got this new thread. It's Christmas Eve, and I just got home from my mom's. She made us open presents because she was too excited to wait until tomorrow.



Hope you all are nice and warm and happy.

Congrats on one year, Lisa... you're such an inspiration to so many people. Well done, my friend !!!!!

Mariposa18

In my defense, Lisa's siggy ALWAYS said the 27th until yesterday!!!! hahaha Okay, so can I say it now? lmao

CONGRATULATIONS MY LOVE!!!! You are an amazing Friend and I get so much inspiration from you. Seeing you grow this past year has been a wonderful journey and I'm so proud to have taken it with you. Because of you I went to my first AA meeting, have finally started reading my recovery books, and I'm slowly learning how to let go of things and stay in my own "hula-hoop" . I'm not perfect and you love me anyways, that means the world to me!!!!!!

I really can't say it enough and I know you know this but... I loves you very much!

Hi what is this Class of December 2008? is it for the ones who started recovery then? is it for AA or Alanoners or both???? I got out of a toxic relation then and I am looking for my clan lol

Gypsy Feet

hiya girl. We are all drunks in recovery, BUT there is an excellent thread for codependents in recovery here on these forums (newcomers daily-codependency something or another, should be near the top). Your welcome here too=)

I second that suggestion by Lisa. The Codie thread is a wonderful group full of supportive and caring people =)

On a side note, it's mighty quiet here!!!! I can hear an echo....

Hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for the new year =)

Gypsy Feet

I will be at the new year's eve marathon meetings tonight. I have to admit, new years eve is a non-holiday for me, has been for many years. This might be the first year this decade I will even be awake at midnight, wonder of I'll get a kiss

Mariposa18

First year in as long as I can remember that we are spending New Years somewhere else besides our living room! lol We are going to our Best Friends house with our Kids and my Parents. It will be a night with Friends whom are like Family and that is a blessing to me. I plan on doing a lot of laughing and dancing =)

Hope you all have a wonderful night and may the new year bring you all the happiness you heart can hold~

XOXO

Happy New Year all Hope this year brings you lots of happiness and growth in your lives. Spent last night going to bed at 10 so I could be up around 1 to feed baby and wish him a happy new year as he cried trying to 'make poopy'. I can't think of a better New Years Eve party LOL.

Gypsy Feet

Haha!! Well, last night was a terrible new years eve for me! I think I enjoyed myself more in the past isolating (charles right again?, surely you jest). I worked a really long day, and had to drag myself to the alano club thing. I had on dickie shorts (work shorts), and my sponsor started on me about how big they were on me. She then says "I was explaining to my sister how you have so much more weight to lose, you probably don't want to spend money on clothes" UHHHHHHG. Wrong on so many levels. I told her that my weight had pretty much plateud, and that right now I was just trying to get comfortable with where i am today, she says "Oh no, you'll lose lots more, your a tiny girl underneath"


seriously. . .

so when the dancing starts, and I am sitting there, a tiny girl with lots of weight to lose in clothes so ill fitting, other people need to discuss them, I just bailed out the back door. Came home restless, irritable and discontent (AA quote). My evening ended just after she text me to say the unboyfriend showed up right after I left



This morning I did see a little bit of the positives in recovery from it. First of all, the unbf EITHER is a non-issue OR important in my life, I need to pick one. I thought I was firmly in the non-issue camp, but the more we bring him up, the more my skin crawls.

I also was immediately reminded of how my dad always points out the negative in my clothes. AM I too sensitive? Probably. So how do I get to a point where sh!t like this doesn't freak me out ?(I know your feelin me Suz).

Anyway, I have at least come to the point where I am looking for lessons and healing opportunities from my discomfort, and I had/have no desire to drink (actually makes me sick to think of it).

progress, right?
