Kiki- I was what I thought others wanted me to be for a very long time. Usually with negative consequences...such as playing the clown or being Mr Nice guy and being walked over. Booze worked for a time but as it goes- eventually took over.
Life is much, much simpler sober, me thinks.

Weird day again! My emotions were all over the freaking place today! Was definitely not in a “people-y” mood but since I’m constantly around people and and have to be “on” all the time I faked it!
I took a big sigh of relief when I got to my AA meeting tonight and got to be around people from “my planet”. (What should we call that planet? Planet Sober? Planet no BS? Planet awesome?)
Anyway the meeting was a speaker meeting and the guy who spoke was awsome! Great story to recovery that gave me ALOT of inspiration! Glad I went!
Night everyone!

Hi Marcheros. Happy 2 year anniversary to our class!!
I am being lazy this morning. Typing this up on my phone but still under the covers in bed. I’ll get up shortly and put the startin fluid on, but it feels good to just chill here for a bit.
Planning my recovery filled day. Nothing earth shattering. Just trying to take it slow the next 2 days. Do good things. Be a better person. Breathe deep. Move often. Enjoy my time and not get too stressed.
Hope everyone has a great weekend

40 months sounds not too bad. And I LOVE not seeing anyone for two days.....well, I did, now I love seeing Nick and no one else for two days every now and then....extroverts can also love time with no people.
Like now......just me and the birds and the radio playing quietly while I have coffee and post here. Nice.
Good morning etc lovely people. ♥♥
Happy to be on Planet Awesome with all of you.

Same here! Yesterday I felt like total crap & spent the entire day in bed, feeling hungover even tho I didn't drink ~ hoping I wasn't coming down with the nasty that's going around, but right now I feel much better......had some startin' fluid and actually stepped outside! Holy crap it's too nice to stay inside so I'm gonna go for a walk....and I put some more tunes on the iPod: a little Linkin Park, some Pink, and even "T-Swizzle" ~ That's right!

Um, girls, you have no idea what it is like to be an Aussie chic who likes shoes and now lives in the US. Holy cow. I just bought the most gorgeous wedge sandals for a ridiculously low price....and the brand is lovely and fits perfectly. Happy sigh. My mum would be proud of me....really....she had a shoe fetish and she really wanted me to follow in her footsteps.
Shoes and bags....she never spent a lot, she waited for sales, and ohh how beautiful she looked in those gorgeous shoes. My dad was always very proud to be by my mum's side. She was a cutey.

Afternoon Marchers.
Hubs and I would like to watch one Oscar nominated movie tonight before the big show. Shoot me any recommendations. We haven’t seen any of the Best Picture noms.
I saw Greatest Showman and it was excellent.
I was thinking about the extrovert/introvert concept.....I’ve realized I’m an extroverted introvert. ☺️ I am energized by being alone, but I can still get lonely. I can chat chat chat, but have social anxiety.
BBG, squash that AV. It’s a big fat liar.
