Technically, it’s the male catkin, which has a plush downy covering, possibly to keep its stamens and anthers warm before they’re ready to emerge.

I have been doing a lot of soul searching this AM. I debated posting in the Newcomer thread for support but instead printed out a two page print out of "what happened" and "what I need to do to avoid it happening again" etc for me to refer to when AV comes back and I start feeling sorry for myself & forget why I am here and what the goals are I want and how I want my life to be.... in other words FORGET EVERY SINGLE THING IMPORTANT!!! I revamped my recovery plan and part of that was coming clean to you guys. I was feeling lonely, ungrateful, bored and sorry for myself. Perfect equation for a relapse. Lesson learned and I am trying to get back on track. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly my life goes back to "auto pilot" when I drink. So here is to day 1 again. The sober days that added up (130ish) were not in vain. I learned a lot and I am determined to "get this". Just need a little time to get my mind back right. I am just thankful I got the determination so soon this time. I need lots of support and love right now and hugs are welcome too. Hugs and love around :) :headbange |
So, so many tight hugs coming your way, our dear growpath. Those 130 days are not in vain; the memory of the goodness of those days are what led you back here, safely, to the fold. |
That is very true, SL! I am grateful today that I so vividly remember those days :) Thank you my beautiful soul sister :) |
Growpath, I am delighted to associate with people like you. :ring |
Count me in for 24 please. I messed up last night :( |
I'm in your corner, too, growpath -- sending you all the hugs and support the internet can hold & more. :hug: :hug: :hug: |
:hug: needtostopthis -- make this the last mess and the first day of many sober ones! |
Checking in 8.55pm |
BIG hugs Growpath!!! I'm so glad you came back. And no your sober time was not in vain. Like my sponsor tells me: it takes what it takes. |
Oh sweet growpath, You're here, and we're here for you. You've always been willing, open, inspired and honest. These qualities will get you right again. Make a new plan and you're on your way. This time it'll stick! Taking your hand and forming a circle....................... |
Committing to 24 - 4:48pm NYC |
Hugs Growpath. I have faith in you! |
Dearest Growpath - you learned something valuable. Those 130 days can never be taken from you. Day One - but with so much new knowledge and determination under your belt. :hug: Needing another 24 please in the Catskills of NY at 5:16pm. |
My dear GP!! Hugs...sry to hear that. My suggested solution next time is:lonely-run or flee to a mtg ASAP,ungrateful-list five or more things in the mrg & before bed that are grateful for,bored-go to service commitment @ a detox ward or lockup facility(get in contact w/ institution rep @ your h. group & will give all details),self pity-forgive yourself of the past! We are about to celebrate Easter Sun aka my favorite day of the yr, so if He went to the cross for you & rose again so wouldn't have to live un forgiven, then surely we can forgive ourselves. PLEASE don't live in regret but dust yourself off & try again. I remember you encouraging me NOT to quit looking for a job so trust & know that you are valuable to not just me but SL & others. Hope didn't ramble however this is a cunning disease that's waiting & lurking to strike when our guard is down just a little. 5:30pm in brrr MD & sooo ready for spring(w/o damn pollen of course) Have good wknd friends |
Well said, 1new; thank you so much. |
Running out the door- so checking in quick. Will get to the food of the day later- have cake! |
I love you all. Thank you so much. I've sent messages rather than clog up the thread. |
Never give up Growpath ! Coming back and starting again is courageous, so well done ! Another 24 hours of compassion, loving kindness and sobriety pls ! Its 10:14am here ! |
