I just realized that I am proud of myself for not drinking. It's been 35 days now without alcohol. I've never been proud of myself, even last time I stopped drinking I wasn't proud of myself. They say pride is a sin, but I say it feels pretty right. :)

Shane dear,

Feeling good about one's accomplishments is not a sin. Foolish pride is a sin. Your pride is not a sin. It is well deserved, your earned it.

I am very proud of you hon :)

You have done well!!!

Love and HUGS

Brenda

thanks :) i honestly didn't think that I would get this far ever again, as I had planned to stay drunk forever and never sober up. But someone helped me realize that wasn't the answer. I wasn't making myself better by doing that, I was making it worse. Now that I realize how much worse I was I don't think I will go back to drugs or alcohol ever again. I want to be a good person, not someone drugged out of my mind and drunk. I did a lot of stupid things while I was, that I can't even begin to make amends for. I fear people will never forgive my stupidity.

Dearheart,

Forgiveness is infinite. All people understand the fraility of being human. Don't condemn yourself hon.

You are growing hon, and it is all OK :)

Love

      By Birdie · Posted

      Good morning! 🤗   Just weighed myself and I dropped a couple of kilos in weight, I'll head to the kitchen and make a nice mug of Jacobs's brand coffee.    I'm back to feeling myself again after my 4 day stay in the hospital over the weekend. 🙂   Only one more day till shopping! 🥳

      By Willow · Posted

      Good morning   i need to watch my tlime I open and can’t be late.  I think I figured our my breakfast issue,  a big bowl of honey nut cherioos  works better than two toaster waffles   yesterday’s coffee debacle got better mine was way too weak. Wife made a cup later, way too strong,  now if we just had baby here to get it right.   ok I admit I like Sheldon tv show.  I was planning on going to bed at 8:30 when it was over not realizing it was a double episode. Watched the second too.  I wasn’t expecting that ending.  Glad I didn’t miss it. Sorry there is only one left.     it seems like the writers strike killed a number of my preferred shows. Eithe this season or next fall will end several good shows   well gatta go.  Not even proof reading today.   hugs   willow

      Sally's Trans World

      By KayC · Posted

      My experience is very similar to yours, Sally.  When I first started to socially transition I thought 'blending in' was the best approach.  It did not work AT ... ALL.  I was misgendered so often. So now I try to feminize as much as my wardrobe (and time) allows.  For 'girls' my age I believe I am far more fashionable than other women.  So, lately I have been much more successful at 'passing'. But also like you, I am not really trying to fool people.  I expect they assume I am Trans and I just hope they respect my femininity and my humanity.

      What do you think is the biggest block to LGBTQ+ acceptance?

      By VickySGV · Posted

      Actually, they did back at the times of the AIDS pandemic in the 80's.  Some of my slightly older than I am Gay friends were beaten up and thrown out of gender correct restrooms back then.

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      By Betty K · Posted

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.

      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Do we have any programmers?

      By AmandaJoy · Posted

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hello all

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
