BTW, my leetle friend, you found humility when you reached out to Billie and others at the AA meeting. You go hard headed woman you!

I'm not proud of you, I'm happy for you!

Looks like it's time to get past the startover tokens and go for a month chip.

You did it Howto! Made it through day one, give yourself kudos. One day at a time-you can do this!

Happy for you :)

Right, 24 hours for a hopeless variety drunk like I thought I was was all I could do at a time. It was a monumental start.

They are edible tokens??? Horrraayyyyyyy!!! I love it... Way to go.. Keep it simple.. all the best...

~lolo

Lolo, not one ever told me they weren't, so... SHIT! Do you think maybe that is my problem?

What it taste like?? Ice cream... mint? Ya back on cloud 9 inside even though your feeling anxious?

Yeah, no!, don't eat um. Hold the chip between your lips tightly so you're unable to take a drink of alcohol. The only other option then is to pour in through your nose and if you do that, well, we all know what happens then...

Way to go, girlfriend!

ODAAT!

and Whoot!

I love you, BFF!

lolololol.... Ductape has been known for many purposes as well.. and did you know..... it comes in new pretty colors too.. Just think of the new trends you could set..... Wooo Hooo.. (T) bubbles trademark.....

I can honestly say I'm PROUD. I was there. I seen her.......damn that took me back to those horrible day when I begged for death to take me.

ANNA IS A TROOPER! For real, she got a start over token, then at the end of the meeting she got a "Keep this till you start to like yourself token"
then she's suppose to pass it on.....along with all her infinite wisdom she's gonna acquire!!!

We hugged when we left & she was shaking so bad.....memories, flashbacks....Damn, I never wanna be in that place ever again.

I'm very grateful that I took the chance & drove up there. Who knows, maybe we will go to some more meetings together!
Everyone have a Groovy Day!!! ~*~Billie~*~

Am so proud of you Anna, and a big hug to Billie for going with her. I threatened to get on a plane and make her go if she didn't get a grip. I know she is a wonderful, sweet and loving woman. She, you Anna, deserve to have the best life. And you will...love you! Alice

well done keep it up happy smilie wednwsday :0)

Thanks all. ALOT.

Lolo, they kind of taste metallic, and if this is cloud 9, I am SCREWED. I do have my moments, though.

And Billie, for the record, I am still shaking enough I can't let anyone see me drink from my water bottle.

awww hang tough.... I know it is not going to be easy ... however, I meant from the inside.. like, self esteem? Knowing you are moving forward again... Give yourself the credit you deserver for the humility you have shown and the dust you left behind... NOW LET"S ROCK N ROLL....

This is the best thread I've read all week...well, I haven't read many but still!

Rummy "basement full of them mofos" cracked me up!

Yeah, a LOT of people have a LOT of starter chips, baskets & drawers full from what I hear. I have 3 myself...all within a 1 year period!

No worries-so happy to see that you accepted some help girl! Billie-it's awesome that you met her too, very cool.

Proud of ya Anna-you can do it! :)
