BBG and LB ~ so glad you came right back! High five! 
Working on some more journal purging. This crap has been swimming around my head for way too long! Who knows maybe it'll become a best seller that turns into an award winning motion picture.....what would I wear on the red carpet?!?!
(Hey, a girl can dream, right?!?!)

LB, glad you made it back. You too, BBG.
Purp, that quote is hysterical
It's Friday afternoon, I just got done at the gym and the sun is shining - I could easily slip into oblivion, but I won't - that's why I'm posting here. I've been feeling so good lately - not dry drunk good - but deep down, making progress being me and really enjoying the heck out of that, good. I can make it past these next few hours and look forward to a good weekend.
Have a great night everyone . Don't drink, it's dumb!

For those that didn't see it, our incredible friend PJ posted an account of what he went through. I figured some people don't check Newcomers, and PJ himself hasn't linked to it, so I will: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...fore-life.html
A reminder of his incredible courage and kindness in the face of difficulty. Sorry PJ, don't mean to embarrass with my adulation.

LB and BBG - glad you're here.
Fall down seven times get up eight....
I have fallen many times but gosh, I believe with all my heart I'm going to get it soon. I believe in happy endings.
We all have a happy ending in our stories. The best stories have a diifficult challenge...heroes can't be heroes unless there is a difficult struggle. I forget who said that.
Hmm, my story has several chapters..war and peace.

Thanks 13th!
I have trouble asking for help around pretty much anything. I take it all on myself and then become paralyzed, overwhelmed , and resentful. I'm not sure if it is out of pride, fear of rejection, or fear of being a burden. I truly don't know. It feels like all of the above. Even stupid things like asking my neighbor who is a professional painter to paint my house, where I will be hiring and paying him for his services. I have been talking of paining my house for over a year and it hasn't happened yet. The walls are trashed. I have to refinance as part of my divorce. This NEEDS to happen. But I am scared to reach out to him. I'd rather hire strangers to whom I have no connection, though it would cost twice as much. I've spent the last 45 minutes spinning out about this!
