Sober Anniversary


Guest Robin/bobbi

Recommended Posts

Guest bobbi/robin_p

I'm Four Years Old tomorrow. 15 Oct 2003 is my sobriety date.

This year has been about coming out and not freaking out. I did notice that me judging people and how they would react was totally wrong and off. My expectation of what other's would do surprise me constantly.

Like my sponsor told me at the top of the year.

"It is amazing how those people are more open minded than you"

GOD got me sober and directed me to AA. The AA program taught me how to live sober and be ME. The Fellowship of AA taught me how to love myself. Service in AA taught me how to deal with all you crazy people :P

I made a decision with step three. I get to live my life as a girl. That was all i ever wanted.

I'm no saint. I still have problem with money and relationship. The one thing that i do is Show up for life and PARTICIPATE in it. I make decision and i try not to worried about the end results.

I try to live in today and not time trip. Time Tripping means i regret the past and i leave a piece of me there. I try to control the future and i leave a piece of me there. No wonder i get screw up in the head.

I don't cringe inside that much anymore and that is a Blessing.

that's it my anniversary rant. I get to talk about me all week in the meetings :rolleyes:

Wow! 4 years... that's great!

Last week, I finally made 90 days. I can't even imagine how much saner my head might be after 4 years of sobriety, meetings and working the Steps.

Sobriety,

Peace,

MK

Huff, It get different. I still cause drama some days, giggles. I is crazy.

I hung out with the old timers and i did service to keep me from being bored. I found out when i was four months sober that i had a lot of time on my hands.

here is some homework for you as you work the steps:

Definitions of: CPC, PI, GSR, 12 Concepts and Warranties, DCM, ICYPAA, Delegate, DCM.

Here is a fun recovery link too.

Hi folks. In 1 week it'll be a month for me. Thanks for the message Robin/Robbi. 1st time in 36 years I've been sober for a Month. It's like being reborn. I've got a wooden sign in my kitchen that i found at Goodwill it says " keep me going Lord." Even the grief that i get in daily living is being handled. For those that are still drinking remember that little voice in your head, listen to it. That's your higher power. At first it's hard but it does get easier. Bye for now. Jolene.

Yes, I second that. Congrats. You are all an inspiration to us. I'm still struggling with the drink, keep stopping and then starting again. I really hope one day I will make it for good.

This is a WE program. You never have to be alone again!

      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.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
