Still NC - Trying to move forward

Think of the anxiety as the fire that is refining you.

This whole experience will make you stronger and wiser in the end. You just have go through it.

Keep working on yourself. There's no doubt in my mind that you are going to be just fine. I promise.

Sorry to hear about S. It amazes me that people can subject their own kids to this kind of pain.

It's Saturday night and I'm on DB.com! Ha!

Like a lot of other people here, I'm wondering what W is doing tonight. I'm sure she is out and about with friends having a good time.

Today was a decent day for me. I went to my alanon group and stayed afterwards talking a guy that has a story similar to mine. He's been in the program for 8 years and I really connected with him. He's put in the work and is flourishing as a result. Super cool to see.

Then I was off to the gym and worked out as hard as I could. I was exhausted afterwards so that was good.

I headed over to the shoe store and picked up some new sneakers. I don't like wearing the new ones W bought me for Xmas because they remind me of her so I bought a different pair and put the other shoes away in the closet.

Afterwards, I had to pick D16 up from her boyfriend's house and we went and had some junk food (Don't worry, it's my once a week cheat meal!).

Tomorrow is more gym, grocery shopping, hair cut, and getting ready for the week.

I'm gonna keep working on dropping that rope!

Hey great for you Thornton. Sounds like you had a really productive day! Like you I fell off my diet today. I at McDonalds today, two candy bars and doritos. Ugh, I can feel the fat being produced as I type. I am watching UFC tonight as my GAL activity. Actually I originally went to the bar and it was dead (btw 2 beers on my diet break too) so I came home and got the fights.

Great job today in GALing and dropping the rope.

Thanks buddy!

McGregor fighting tonight?

[daybyday]

Way to go T. Glad for you.

[TimR]

yep tonight is McGregor v. Diaz. I love to watch them both.

[TimR]

BTW see girls we can talk about manly things too and not just shopping!

[Thornton]

^^^ Haha!

McGregor is awesome, I love the bravado. Super cocky but has the talent to back it up. He's definitely an entertainer.

[Sparkls]

Lol, keep telling yourself that boys. These forums will forever show just how much you talk about SHOES and SHIRTS.

I am sitting here watching the food network cause I'm the kind of girl that likes to bring home the bacon AND make it my damned self because you never do it right anyway. :-p And by that I mean I love cooking and made dinner every night for WH.

^^ I'm hungry! Hook it up, Sparkles!
