90 Day Chip


JenniferB

Recommended Posts

I just received my three month chip tonight. I also completed 90 meetings in 90 days. Tomorrow will be the first time I will miss a meeting in three months. I am going to play tennis with some AA members. I will see how it goes. I'm not used to not going to AA every day.

AA is my spiritual home now, and am very happy when I'm there, especially because I see so many friends. They were strangers just a few months ago, and now my closest friends. Just incredible. I do not know why I am so blessed. It's far easier to share now, and I've had members come up to me and thank me for sharing, saying they liked when I shared because it is genuine. I just talk when I have a burning desire.

One interesting development, and that is new women members seem to like being around me. I'm not sure why, other than I'm greeter and try to be of service. I'm used to being repulsive, and constantly pushed people away, feeling like a leper, but now I seem to be a magnet. It is a very good thing and if it helps newcomers feel at home I'm glad to do it. I was told by one member that people can tell when the light shines in a person. Whatever. I can say I feel very happy when I'm at meetings. It has a very healing influence. I know hundreds of AA members now and love them all. I especially enjoy it when I can see the spiritual growth, and I miss people when I don't see them for awhile.

With Love,

Jenny

That is great Jeniffer, way to go. You earned the pride,and some tennis time for sure.

I also like the part about letting your light shine so other people can see it. Since turning mine on other people have noticed the new me and enjoy the new me much more.

Myself, I have been totally amazed at what the last 90 days has done for me in my own journey. A lot can happen in that short amount of time,if we truly allow ourselves grow.

It would never have happened without sobriety.

Keep going, you're going to make it.

Congratulations Jenny, this is a far cry from where you have been. Keep coming back, it works!!!

24 Hour a Day book for January 31 states that Drinking cuts us off from god; that the result is lonliness and isoslation.... That indeed, the sober life becomes the happy life because it connects us to god and to other people :)

Congratulations on your decision to get sober Jenn.

Hugs

Jenn you are wonderful and an inspiration. Enjoy tennis! I have found much the same love and acceptance in AA. I am embraced and loved. I gave a big kid on the cheek to an old-timer at a meeting who kids me. I had just out on some lipstick and i got him good. All fun, laughter and joy. Odd considering we are finding a way clear of a disease that for many of us was a slow(or faster) death. You are quite simply another miracle.

Hugs,

Charlie

      Congratulations on getting the go ahead with HRT. I'm so ready for my wife to drop her opposition. As for the mood swings... I would look forward to them myself.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Three reprimands and they suspend attendance for a couple weeks. 
    • Mmindy
      Good for the other participant. What's involved in a reprimand? At our age, what are they going to do? Withhold snacks...   @BirdieI'm sorry you have to put up with such discrimination's. I'm proud that you're standing up for yourself.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Associating LGBTQIA+ with pedophilia or "grooming" is a conspiracy theory as old as the study of psychiatry (mid-19th century) when early "scientists" theorized that homosexuality was caused by childhood trauma of having been molested by older men. Some of us have moved on and become educated since those days, but conspiracy theories have an uncanny staying power...the "power" of ignorance, including the titillation of scandal. There is some psychology about people being attracted to outrage and fear. Life is naturally dynamic and uncertain. Unless you have developed a transcendent mastermind, most people have some level of discomfort with that. Therefore, it is weirdly comforting to target a particular thing as a threat and to make a big fuss about it, whether or not it has any credence. And it is comforting to be one among a mass who are equally outraged about a thing, whether or not the thing is real. It is also boosts the ego to speak with vehement "authority" about a thing that is a known trigger for the masses. Like Vicky said, Dunning-Kruger Effect.   However prominent a movement there is or not of pedophiles claiming that their perversion is a sexuality (I have heard of that, but never as it being a major influence), it is the case that much of the viral spread of disinformation associating LBGTQIA+ with pedophilia is due to online trolls. Surely, there are loads of 'em. But here's just one reported story. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/posing-gay-men-twitter-troll-goes-viral-attempts-falsely-tie-n954721

      Another interesting day at the day-centre....   Another participant called me "sweet cheeks" and we both got reprimanded for inappropriate behavior. 🙄

      She stood at the world's edge, awaiting judgment Isolation judged to be an insufficient burden The skies above required a hand, precisely two To keep the heavens high and keep the vaulted sky from crushing you She bent her knee and gritted teeth, awaiting weight Mentally preparing mind and body for the grimmest fate. Her head was bent, the firmament so hard to hold, Her back against the wall and braced against a fall And all that matters is she never ever drop it There she stands.  If they weren't full, her head would be in her hands. Heroes they came, from far and from wide to gawk at the girl who held up the sky.

      This is a lovely look for you!

      Lets get this topic back on track folks.  Please spell out your acronyms for your specific meaning of the letter combinations and then re-read your own typing before hitting the send button.  We are here to be supporting each other and not stomping on someone's last nerve.  In the past we have used our DWF (Dirty Word Filter) to interpret certain acronyms and then the members were begging us to delete the posts for them one or two leaving with injured feelings.  Community Rules 7 (about posts being in clear English and Rule 8 (being suitable for people under 18) can come into play here. Thank you.

      I could be described, I suppose, as a RWNJ.   A little stereotyping seems to be going on.  Don't complain about Trans stereotypes if you turn around and stereotype others.  A lot of RWNJs are actually decent people and get called that by people who pick up on one or two alleged beliefs.  I would rather single out influential individuals of whatever camp and call them to correction.   Trans folk are a small minority, even as small minorities go.  There are probably a lot more RWNJs running around than there are trans folk.

      They cut a lot of trees here as well.  A lot of them toward the coast end up chipped up and sent to Europe to burn in power plants.  That bothers me, seems like a dumb idea.

      Most likely.   Unfortunately this was expected.  I expect it will be the norm in any GOP controlled state that hasn't already done it.  So much effort expended against so few.  I certainly haven't seen my area being overrun by trans kids.   And yeah, I fully expect them to go after my HRT next. I think those that are railing against us are much more dangerous than some non-binary high school sophomore.

      Her name is Sunny and she is so much fun. But, as you said @KymmieL, it is a challenge with a new puppy. Thankfully our 13 year old Lab is taking the addition in stride and being supremely tolerant.
