I'm back again; I've missed the playground

I finally found the playground again. Not a lot has change for me - I'm still busy with the program. I go to at least two meetings a week and I have also been the alternate chair for our local treatment committee. But it's time to rotate out. Our group believes in rotation and so do I. I will put my hat in the ring at the group level and see what comes next. I will still allow my name to stand on the Bridging the Gap list as well as the Twelve Step List as well.

However, I lost my driver's licence so it will not be as easy to accomplish things as it used to be. And I noticed today it's not easy to ask for help. I've always been so independent. So hopefully I will be more active here in the future. I feel welcome here and certainly feel easier about talking. Thank you all for being here.

Welcome home! It's wonderful that you are immersed in the program. I finally found refuge in a sober living home. It's funny, mandatory meetings are not a chore, they are a joy! I was happy they let me in as I'm coming up this month on my four year medallion. It's also fun to be a live in example for newbies fresh out of the spin dry treatment centers.

Can't wait to hear more about your adventures. Hug. JodyAnn

Welcome back to Laura's

As i worked the steps of the program i found so much more than being sober. The promises have been coming true for me. It is still hard for me to ask for help but i'm better than ever in that regard.

I've also found the joys of doing service and being active in the world of recovery. Laura's seems to fit those feelings.

We have meetings at the chatroom at 9:00 Sundays. Join us if you can.

Hugs,

Charlize

Welcome back, Erin!

I just started here less than a year ago, but sober for 15+ years. Transition stress led me back into AAas an alternative to going back out. Has been awesome.

Look forward to seeing you around!

I had a problem with marijuana and alcohol pre transition as well and to a certain extent the latter within very early stages. I'm still quite young in my transition (8 months on HRT), but I only drink socially. And have been drug free for almost 2 years now. You CAN do it :)

      I have not heard about it here in California, but then again we have events of various sorts going on very often, and not just in the June Pride Month.  We have Trans Fashion Week going on at a hotel complex over in West Los Angeles for the next three nights featuring shows by Trans fashion designers and modeled by Trans and NB people on the runways there.  I missed a chance for some free tickets and while I know and love many of the participants I do not want to pay for the tickets which will be in the $50 to $75 range, and which at those prices are nearly sold out.  (Not to mention $25 valet parking each night at the venue complex.).  There will be actual high end fashion buyers there though and it is an area where we are gaining some good footing.  I also admit that NONE of the fashions are going to be anything at all that would fit my basic personal style but look fine if not crazy on my much younger Trans siblings who will model them. (Ok everyone else keep on @Mirrabooka's topic.)

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.

      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....
