Hey Ms. Gypsy. Glad we connected. So, I'm in my car, driving to the CODA meeting, and I had a repeat from two weeks ago. Panic attack in the car. Heart pounding, light headed, frightened out of my mind. What is it I'm afraid of? It's not like it's my first meeting. I arrived early, hoping I'd run into someone before the meeting but instead sat and waited for a good stretch of time until the crowd started to trickle in. Starting to feel better. I know a lot of adults have a fear of public speaking, or sharing in front of strangers. Obviously, this is not one of Goldey's problems. I shared a small bit of my story (leaving abusive Husband) and got my Newcomer's Coin. Still no sponsor. But a very worthwhile meeting. The ankle hurts, bad. I finally got in to see Dr. today (moved up my appointment). New meds, more rest. Let's hope it starts to get better soon. Got a note to take the rest of the week off. No argument from me. Leaves me free to get into new housing. Tomorrow, IC at noon. I'm sleeping in. It's late, I gotta get some rest now. love, goldey
