Hi Guys,
I am finally starting to get the hang of this. I think we initially post, looking for advice then we start looking to post to help others. All of this equals recovery. I have had the best 4 weeks of my life and am grateful to find this sight (especially special to say since the previous four weeks were spent on my honeymoon in Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and Crete....)
Last week, after bowling badly, I came home and posted that it was due to sobriety. OH PLEEEZZE ME! It's because I became so dependant an AL to "take the edge off" that I was sure it had to be the cause. I looked at my post, and to say the least, it was shameful! I can do whatever, and am MORe likely to do it sober, my confidence that came from drinking was false and I get that now.
Lastly, this sounds conceited at best, but I got the best/worst compliment from my GYN today, who I had not SEEN in one and one half years because I was to busy to take care of myself. He came in and said "Jodi, I passed you by in the waiting room, it appears as if you had a little cosmetic surgery, you look great, what have you've done?"
I didn't quite know how to answer that question, since the last thing I have had was cosmetic surgery. I automatically equated it to drinking "guilt" and how I must have looked "bad" last time around. But,,,,instead, after I left, I called a friend and said,
"You know what my Dr. said to me today"-----You know guys, I'm taking it as a compliment. I am now an active and "out" member. THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING ME TO BE A BETTER ME - I TRULY AM WINNING
