Goal #1 - Get out of the house more
Goal #2 - Go to my meetings without BF
So far since the New Year, I've managed to go to one meeting without BF (YAY!) and have gone out for coffee with some members of my NA group twice!! I can't even remember the last time I went out for coffee... ya, it's been that long. The first meeting that I was kind of alone at - BF was sick and ended up leaving early, so I was there alone for 20 minutes. The next meeting, I went and stayed for the whole thing (including the post-meeting birthday party) and was there for almost 2 hours!! Both times a few of us went for coffee at Tim Horton's afterwards, and stayed until close! I used to close down bars, now I close Tim's haha
So these two goals have a good start - I'm determined to start taking my life back. It's certainly not easy, but I'm starting off small. The meeting place is just down my back lane, so it's really not that far (not to minimize the accomplishment!!) and both times going for coffee I've had my sponsee with me, so I'm not driving alone yet, but it's barely one week in so it's a start!! I'm pretty pumped about this :) I have other goals for sure (learn to cook, lose weight, etc.) but these are anxiety specific, so I'm hoping to be able to log on at least once a week and let you all know how it's going.
This week's goals are the same, I just want to keep doing these two until I become comfortable with them. So... next meeting is Tuesday and I know I will be going alone - BF will be out of town. And at least once this week I'll be cooking something good for myself :) Hope you all are doing well - one day at a time!!

... Hi kitteh, congratulations, I'm so proud of you. I know it couldn't have been easy going alone to NA but to also go out for coffee afterwards is monumental!! I love that you've made your New Year's resolutions and kept your goals realistic. I'm trying to keep mine within the realm of doable this year, especially the inevitable "lose weight". The holiday feasting has taken its toll on my *ahem* you know where. Hang in there, one day at a time. I wish you success, happiness and good health in this New Year . . . hugs |

... hi tsuki! thank you so much! i was very proud of myself - it was so hard!! i was just about to blog again about this week, it was even harder but i still did it! man, anxiety sucks my energy dry sometimes :S losing weight is definitely my goal #3 - the holiday meals have set up camp on my butt, thighs, and stomach and i think it's time to kick them to the curb!! so tired of being fat on top of all the other crap i have to deal with hahaha you hang in there too!! maybe we can be virtual workout buddies?! ;) |
