Thank you Lola, for your kind words.
I finally figured out the lifeline thing. It was actually Coach who suggested adding Skype, so I can "see" my sister whenever I want to.
I've been calling her every day, begging her to come down this weekend. I have a little local support. Working my 12-step program, CODA (Co-Dependents Anon). My sponsor had a family emergency, but there's plenty of help to back that up.
Although I am paying them, the people here at the hotel are simply wonderful. They've sorta adopted me. smile
I feel like Paris Hilton, only much smarter.

I have a bunch of support across the country. Learning how to communicate more effectively, with the strong people.
I feel it. The growth. The stretch. The happiness.
p.s. Sending virtual hugs to those in need.
