==> A hush fell over the room when Pat Winstanley said to Harriet Levy <==
Good Morning, Pat!

There's always that. That comes under the heading of entitlement,
something my 1st sponsor and my current one and I talk about, a lot.
PW> Reading messages from you over the past week or two it's clear

Many, many things. I'm not sure how long it's been since you've been
here, but.....
About a year and a half ago, I finished school, got licensed as a
massage therapist, left my husband of 14 years, got my own apartment,
have been supporting myself as a freelancer, fell in what I thought
was love, fell out of it, spent a good chunk of time alone, and just
when I thought I was going to be spending the next however long alone,
someone (who I met right here, BTW) came into my life. Oh, and I still
didn't drink.
That's the abreviated version. So where I am now is fairly successful
running my own business, except for the day or two per week that I'm
still working for someone else, involved in a long-distance relationship
that is driving me somewhat crazy (but that should change come the
summer...he's moving!), I've moved to another part of the city, and
have established myself here, made friends, become part of the
community.
It's been an *interesting* year.
