Hi Holly, I am writing this in response to one of your previous posts, but I wanted to keep it more for just you than to add it to an already existing thread. I would have emailed it, but your profile doesn't allow for that.
Anyway, I just wanted to say how wonderful I think you are doing! In some of your recent posts, you had mentioned being shy/apprehensive, etc...but there was one post I noticed where you really asserted yourself, and I thought it was great! :-) If I remember right, there have been times when things were said on the board that had people apprehensive about using it and uncomfortable about posting again, but it just seems like you see this board as a valuable resource and negative comments are not going to keep you away!
Everything mentioned was justified, to the point, and firm! So, as far as the emoticon that I am using for this post, in addition to it standing for "prayers and positive thoughts", please think of it also as "applause, applause, applause!!!!!"
...I hesitate to do this, but I'm doing it anyway....
BUMP.
Holly, I hope your doing okay and your co-ed mtgs go well!
Love,
Victoria
It is great to be getting back into the swing of a sober lifestyle again. I am going to check out one of those meetings in my new town. There is one on Friday evening. I could use the support, and I will take my time in making new friends.
This weekend I have a hiking date with my husband. He is driving to my house, and there is a beautiful county park nearby with trails. I hope it goes well. I told our therapist about both of our drinking problems (which he doesn't admit he has), and she is encouraging us to come up with date ideas that don't involve alchohol. He is going along with it.
How was the belly dancing class? I hope you went to it and had a great time. I think I told you already that I have a Brazilian dance workout DVD that is a lot of fun.

Holly! What wonderful news! :-) I actually LOVE hiking...it makes me feel so good to be out in nature like that, and it's good exercise without feeling like you're really exercising, lol.
My belly dance class went really well! There were actually only 2 other students in the class, but it was nice. I like getting the different perspectives, techniques, etc of different teachers. :-)
So...what's the name of that Brazilian video that you use? I'd love to be able to check it out--maybe I can get it through B&N or Amazon.... ;-) he, he, get the Brazilian video through Amazon.... ;-)
Anyway, I hope that your hiking date goes well! :-)
Love,
Victoria
PS Have a great weekend!
