Tetra, I'm just curious why you don't post much on SF outside of this thread, and when you do you tend to talk about work (this last one obviously was not work, I know that).
How are you doing in terms of your sobriety? I'd actually be interested in hearing more of your story but you don't share a lot.

Well Brenda I have shared a lot in past in terms of my mother and sister who obviously have an effect on me. I think you may have missed a lot of that.
I actually saw my therapist on Monday who thinks I am doing quite well in trying to live an independent life.
As for other threads, I'm not sure exactly. I read them certainly but I'm not sure if I have any great advice to offer. If I think of something I will let them know.
And as far as I can see you also tend to talk about your work/studies/placement a lot.

Okay.
I do remember now, the things about your mom being critical of you. Reminded me of my own.
I talk in this thread about that stuff, but I contribute in other threads too, It helps.
I personally need to come up with more of a plan than making it to bedtime.

Yup. If anyone knows the over critical mom stuff it is me. Many people on this site saw me on my knees to living independently and having a job like I do today. I still think that is a great achievement for someone like me.
I have thought about extra help outside of my therapist and our group meeting and our solo meeting. Unfortunately AA is not for me. I never found a meeting where I felt I really fit in. I was in a local church one day when I felt a bit low and I saw an ad for a local 'smart' meeting so I must check that out.
I hope you are all doing well anyway.
Take care

Yes, a huge congrats to us all for making it through the holiday! This time last year was when I first slipped after joining SR; I managed 4 months sober & got complacent.....I didn't want to repeat that this year. It definitely wouldn't be possible for me without this site. 
I have attended the "Smart" online meetings before & I prefer those over face to face meetings....I'm also not much of a people person, tho....
You're in my thoughts, Soberandhealthy....hope you're doing okay

Hi, weekenders.
Just got the news that my job application is finally "graced" with the last missing signature of the head of HR department.
Crrrrrrazy. It's just inhuman what they made me go through.
I saw my therapist yesterday. I let my emotions go and cried in her office. It was a good thing - I felt better afterwards.
She told me: "As far as I can see you've succeeded in everything. It's just been too much within a short period of time".
I think she is right, I just feel I could do better)
Have a great day, weekenders.

Hi - great thread! I've been listening to Eckhart Tolle every day and what a help that has been. Can't afford a therapist anymore, but there is quite a lot on the internet. Hard to make any ftf when you live in the middle of nowhere.
