3652 Days

Toss out a couple of Leap years with an extra day, and 3652 comes up to an even 10 years here in a an hour of my time, but a couple or so hours ago for others.  As my stories in this Forum in past years will tell you, GD was at the root of a relapse after a 16 year sobriety that began in the 1980's,  and ended in 2006 and the decision to face the GD in a realistic way with medical help came with the expense of getting sober.  Such a deal you may think!  On that day in 2008 though neither the sobriety or the GD looked good to me, not one or the other, but I was beaten up by both and neither had killed me as I had hoped for then.  In July 2009 at about 9 months sober, I was allowed to take what has now become my true Drug Of Choice -- Estrogen -- which had totally eliminated any cravings or desires to go back to booze.  It was a simple answer, get the GD fully controlled and sobriety is much easier and more certain to last  The time has gone by all to quickly, but I have been able to make my conscious choices about my care and set my goals with a clarity that assures me that I have chosen my course well.

I had my BD cake tonight at our monthly BD meeting.  Bronze chip with an "X" in the center.  Got to lead the meeting tonight and for the discussion I picked "What did secrets really do to you in your drinking days?"  and it turned out great.

      no. I don't really go for all that stuff   the only thing I do believe is to not mess with god's will too much- I mean, sure, if you're unhappy with your body, then I think you should change it to something that makes you happier   if, however, you.. I don't know, can't find a job for instance- I don't think you should push it. wait until it comes to you, because it will

      Good morning   @Ashley0616. So glad it wasn’t worse.  I did something similar when I was maybe 8. I was playing outside barefoot and stepped on a piece of broken glass. My mother zoomed into action when I told her.     @awkward-yet-sweet welcome back to the working world. Mental work is just as tiring as physical but both feel good.  It’s a different kind of tired when you wake up.   @Birdie what a beautiful young woman you were.   i made a pot since it’s Sunday. Last time for a while I’ll be grinding beans.  Somehow I messed up and bought already ground the last time.  I know I was in a bit of a rush at the time.  That just doesn’t pay.  Slow down and take the time to read the package.     at least we can use this up making single cups too.  We have a replacement for the pod holder that allows you to use ground coffee or tea leaves. I suppose herbs could be used if that’s your thing but it’s never been this girl’s.  (Like I said too conservative and goody two shoes)   Well here I sit in my sleep sweatshirt from Buc-ee’s while the dog is signaling she would like to go out.   i suppose I should finish up and get ready for the day.  And a nice one it will be. Mostly sunny high of 76.  I should go sit by the pool this afternoon.   Willow

      Neither up nor down, just being.

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.
