A week without work and I'm ok, and got confirmation of the new part time temp job I'll be starting next week!  I'm glad for it, grateful. I am saving a lot of gas $ going to the local meeting, which I stopped attending almost 2 years ago due to a bad situation with my exbf.  Today on a walk there I saw him at his old hangout the coffee shop in the area.  Anyway it was far enough away.  It was kind of hard.   I've been trying to share more in certain meetings which I think has helped lift the depression I felt last week.  I've been going to plenty, and a new guy caught me eye, like Woa.  Of course I meet guys in meetings!  I am trying to go other places, too.  Anyway, when he shared  I was blown away by his recovery and intelligence.  I said thanks for sharing and he smiled.  The next day we were talking to the same girl who had been crying, and I hugged her and talked and then he did hug her for a long time, and he said if she didn't let go he wouldn't and I said "Lucky girl."  A flirt for me, which I am kind of proud of because I don't put myself out there.  Anyway I got to introduce myself and say I wanted to meet him.  When it was time to go he gave me a big hug (there's a lot of hugging in AA including when you meet someone it's quite common).  So he'd been referring her somewhere so I heard his name, googled him (love addiction kicking in!) and there was his myspace page and I realize he's from the big city and a musician which explains sort of the attraction, the kind of guys I used to be around all the time when I lived and played there.  So it was interesting. Then LC I sent him an old very nice photo of my on myspace and I got some compliments and there was some flirting which is weird, he said he was attracted to me from the beginning, I said me too.  He is coming back to AA he said.  Anyway this is all stuff I get excited for. Then this other guy who said hi to me last week came up to chat and it was kind of nice, and I get let attraction develop even if it is not the first thing that draws me to someone.  So I don't know it is interesting what I get out of a conversation, what I learn about myself.  I'm a little lacking in socialization. I went to do folk dancing with mom which was a lot of fun.  I walked around a neighborhood with a cool classic car display today.  Took a nice nap.  Been walking the dog alot.  Just have to care for my love addiction aspects. I'm secretary of my old home MA meeting and reconnecting and connecting with people to find speakers has been awesome, a good group of friends which also helps pull me out of the blues.
