Or...if you have the pic on your phone, you could send it to me on Skype and I will flip it for you.....but that's not helpful. Or maybe it is. Gee I need to drink my coffee.

So, I may not be checking in every day but I'm here and I'm sober and sending lots of love to you all. Right, standing on one leg is starting to hurt and the owl is giving me funny looks so I'm outta here. Congrats milestones, 24 more for me please xxxx
(Not sure I like the poking bit....that better not be hurting the owl).

Big thing I'm doing today is......wait for it.........joining the gym! (is there a fainting smilie?!). There's a great one just up the road and it's about time I took the plunge and joined. It's not cheap (£40 a month) but I spend £7 a go already at my yoga classes which are all free at this place. I hope don't get that pressure and guilt once I've joined but I feel it's the right time to join. The idea of swimming and yoga is fine but "real" exercise is actually quite terrifying. I know I'm unfit and haven't exercised to the purple-face stage for years so I will need a little bit of bravery at the start.
Anyhoo.......everything continues to be wonderful really if I think about it. 8 months sober and a gratitude for that which will never wane. Nobody in my real life understands just how precious this new little life I've carved out for myself is. Only you guys do.
I shall have another 24 please and just want to thank every one of you for being here and helping me every day

I know it's scary to think of "exercise" but you will love it....and you bet we understand.....and I hope you know how truly precious you are. Big time.
Love you to pieces.

That is so adorable. I love owls.
Checking in for 24 more please. I can't wait for this weekend. I don't know why I'm not doing anything special. My dysfunctional family gets together, no one likes anyone else, it's a drag, beyond a drag; my family can be really cruel sometimes. I think I'm going to take a raincheck this year and save myself a migraine.
So, I'm looking forward to it and the weather is supposed to be nice too. I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend, no matter what your doing!

Thanks, V. You always put the voice of reason into what you say so often.
You and Nick have a great holiday. Your first Easter together? How fun.
Have a good one. I'll write you a note later about the orientation at animal services.
Love,

Ooooo wonderful love.....thank you!!!! ♥
Nick and I have plans to relax and have fun for the next few days, and then there are the 100 000 plants that need to go in a garden that is going to freeze overnight for another week. I have to do something about this. My kitchen looks like Columbus Botanical Gardens. I need to at least reorganise the jungle.
Morning darling zepp. ♥

24 more hours.
Yesterday was hard. The AV was loud from the start. Then, my sponsor kinda guilted me about not calling her for 2 days. One of those days I did try, and she didn't pick up. The other day I was truly busy and had planned to call her on my way home from a family dinner but it poured rain and it wouldn't have been safe. Then she got on me for missing the lunch meeting yesterday. I had stayed home and listened to a speaker tape instead. She said "girls at the homestead house have to go to one every night". Firstly, I'm not in the homestead house. Not saying I'm better than those that are, but there's a reason I haven't been in multiple treatment facilities or in and out of jail several times. I dont think I should be held to the same standards.
Second, i went to meetings on sunday, tuesday, wednesday, i think thats pretty good! I'm starting to worry that maybe I need a sponsor who came in off the streets like me. I was just put off by the tone of the phone call which left me feeling like I had done something wrong when I hadn't. But I would loathe trying to find a new one and have that conversation with her, as I avoid conflict at all costs.
Thanks for letting me rant.

I used to avoid conflict at all cost as well, but we need to protect ourselves Alex love. That was not right as far as I am concerned....some sponsors need to remember that it means friend and guide, not boss. Or mother. Or judge.
Just keep doing what you are doing and keep your eyes open....betting any money the right sponsor will walk right into your life. And then you will have help dealing with the one who is a bit too assertive.
Oh....and "pretty good".....nuh uh.....you are doing amazingly incredibly well. !!!!!
