my SIX MONTH chip Sunday!!!!! go me. 1 month ago

spent a lot of time with my sponsor. The program is working for me. 2 months ago

moving to step 4 this week and my sponsor pushing me to complete quickly. 2 months ago

I am looking forward to spending more time with her. 2 months ago

I have been eating pretty healthy but have binges of chocolate and cookies. I have not exercised at all and I am feeling very fat. I need to change this up and do something. Even a few sit ups every day would be better than nothing. But I do tend to find many excuses. 2 months ago

as she prepares to move to California in about three weeks. I will miss her so much, but I am thrilled for her adventure. 2 months ago

and I have been listening. 2 months ago

in a big way, especially since my room is such a disaster since my eldest moved back in. Keeping the rest fo the house clean and my office as well.

Organizing makes me feel like I am in control. (although I know I have absolutely nothing to do with it.) 2 months ago

working them well. Lots of kudos for what I have done so far in this one. Go me. 2 months ago

art journaling every day. a little paint this day, some collage the next, pastels the next, some stamping, a little writing, add a picture or two, letting my feelings out on paper, works for me. 2 months ago

coming my way soon.

Sponsor is awesome. 2 months ago

found a sponsor. Nice woman. things are working out so far. Yah! 3 months ago

With my oldest daughter having moved in with me for a while, I had to move some stuff around and my room is a little packed. I need to organize quite a bit to feel like I have some control. Although I must give myself some kudos for not building any anxiety about this.

Maybe I will do something about it today. (or at least this weekend.) 3 months ago

I didn’t enroll in classes this semester and they dropped me as a student. I need to send a note to the Dean’s office and re-apply to the school. Hopefully it will not be too difficult. 3 months ago

taking on a lot of projects and being recognized for my abilities.

Spending more money that I really should but having a lot of fun, all very good for my mental health. 3 months ago

want to stick to it, it is very important to me as I approach my 50th birthday that I am actively working on my health and fitness. I just need to suck it up and get going. I think as I get healthier (mentally and emotionally) I will respect my needs more and focus on some of the things that are key to this goal. 3 months ago

to start at art journal. I like the idea of creating and don”t always have the time to create some big project but I do have time to paint or color or draw on one page of paper. I have found some cool links and great directions. I think that exploring this creative side even more will help my overall thinking and problem solving skills. I am excited. 3 months ago

a business trip this week, without any anxiety…..GO ME!!!!

I did awesome. 3 months ago

you are on the right path. Stick to it. 3 months ago

getting me through some tough times. A higher power on my side. 3 months ago

and it has been wonderful. And so much different now that I am sober. I see and hear more than I ever did before.

Kelly has stopped by a few times. She is getting frustrated that she is not getting what she wants when she wants it. I see her getting a little better, she is identifying with her anger a little more, which is great. But she is still not getting what she wants and that is not something that she can accept.

Spent some time with Randy, and although he is not the person of choice for me, he is company and I do believe we share that thought. I think he may have said something to Jim, the guy that I think is the best looking guy at work, the one man that I have found so very attractive since the very first day I met his 4 years ago.

Making more and more friends at AA, appreciating them all tremendously. John, Caitlin, Elise, 3 months ago

exactly right. This is how you build a lifetime of successful sobriety. 3 months ago

sugar is far better than alcohol, and eventually hopefully I will not need that anymore either. 3 months ago

not just one day at a time but one thing at a time. 3 months ago

keeps calling, and I really don’t want to talk to her. I feel so much anger and resentment towards her and frankly I just don’t want to put up with a conversation with her right now. I feel like I am finally getting somewhere with my therapist when it comes to dealing with my relationship with my parents and the past. I don’t want to give her anything, and especially I don’t want to give her my time. I gave her so much of it and she gave me so little attention in return. I am still figuring all of that out. 3 months ago

my therapist talks about sugar with the same conviction that it is an addiction like alcohol. I am starting to believe her. 3 months ago

didn;t know I needed to take a leave of absence, I just found out that they dropped me as a current student and I am now classified as a former student. Sucks. I now have to reapply. I should have found out about this beforehand but I made the decision at the very last moment.

Not the end of the world but certainly a nuisance. 3 months ago

it amazes me to see what changes sobriety is bringing into my life. 3 months ago
