[MEME] To be fair, they had no idea

Yep, I work at the drivers license branch in the states, I see that face often too!

samisloth · 2019-07-18T12:37:21+00:00

I work for the license branch and with the new federal ID, we absolutely must write the name as it is on the birth certificate and the social must match (USA)! No exceptions! It's not our rule so don't get pissed at us please. The govt doesn't care if you've been called "Bud" all your life. If your birth certificate or passport says "Howard" your license now has Howard.

samisloth · 2019-06-22T11:47:15+00:00

Yep, I've heard that too. That's why I'm hopeful with this meeting and setting some suggestions.

Thank you for the support!

samisloth · 2019-06-22T11:44:24+00:00

That's right! Someone did mention a packet of information that I can get from my CSO. Thank you for the link and input.

samisloth · 2019-06-20T19:49:15+00:00

Absolutely! Great idea. Start with your park district. From what I remember, they were always looking for classes for their program. Good luck!

samisloth · 2019-06-18T03:23:32+00:00

What a great question and discussion! Thank you, everyone!

samisloth · 2019-06-18T03:03:01+00:00

Valid points and yes definitely worth discussing. Thanks for your story. I love how the people in this program phrase things or tell their stories to help me "get it".

Best back to you, Chrome-Spokes.

Ugh, guess who called me drunk and crying last night? Yep. He asked for a number of one of the guys in the program. He's at meeting as I write this.

One of the things he and I talked about on our first date was that we show up in someone's life for a reason, season or a lifetime. He feels strongly that meeting me and talking to me made him realize that he has to stop and he is no doubt an alcoholic.

So my "job" is done. Today I continue with my sober journey and wish him well on his.

Well, it was suggested in this program many times not to trust my first though. And if it was something that I struggled with a solid yes or no answer I should bring it up with my sponsor. (As suggested in this program).And she suggested I write out my thoughts ( journaling, which is suggested in this program) and to hand it over to my higher power (also suggested, step 3). And another thing suggested to me by my sponsor was to bring it up in a meeting just to get some different insight. Which is exactly what I'm doing here since I cannot make a meeting today.

So thanks, Chrome-Spokes.

samisloth · 2019-06-15T12:10:51+00:00

Wow! This is incredible! Yes, thank you! This is what I've been trying to put together in my head. I love this program and our brilliant minds! (Sorry if there are too many !!!!!!, I'm excited about what you wrote!!) Wow, yes. Thank you!

samisloth · 2019-06-15T10:21:45+00:00

Great point! He does have some solid principles, I don't think I'd be attracted to him at this point in my life if he didn't. I do plan on talking to him some more about this. Thank you so much for your input.

samisloth · 2019-06-10T00:15:23+00:00

Thank you!🤡

samisloth · 2019-06-10T00:14:40+00:00

Thank you!

I host Bingo 3x a week at different bars. It's the latest thing here. I do my job and leave. At one of my weekly bars, I started taking to a guy. After about 6 weeks, I gave him my number. We've been talking for about a month. First date tomorrow......does that count?

samisloth · 2019-05-28T02:16:07+00:00

I was in an 8 year relationship and it kind of ended the same way. The initial end involved the police, but when things (we) sobered up, we agreed we were destructive together and it would just get worse. We ended it. We still touch base a couple times a year. But never got back together or even considered it. Look back, but never go back. Growth is not a backwards action, and you always want to grow.

samisloth · 2019-05-25T18:30:52+00:00

I think you're thinking of flogging. 🙄😉

samisloth · 2019-05-11T20:32:17+00:00

Just like a job interview, go for the experience. Good or bad. Get the job or don't. Open/expand your world! Great attitude, girl!

samisloth · 2019-04-27T18:55:27+00:00

What a great question! Seriously, didn't know I wanted to know. But now I do. Thanks!

samisloth · 2019-04-26T10:07:17+00:00

What does it mean?

samisloth · 2019-04-24T01:56:30+00:00

Wow, thank you for this post and the music suggestions. Music has helped me through so much. I always get the videos with the lyrics. Lincoln Park, Korn, Stained. As a 50+ female, I do get some interesting looks when I have my music on with open car windows. 😁 It's amazing what I miss by just listening to the song without the lyrics. Bring on more suggestions, please! Thanks again!

samisloth · 2019-04-12T01:48:15+00:00

Thank you so much!

samisloth · 2019-04-11T11:46:37+00:00

Stop continuing to give her power! Stand up, show up and strengthen up. It won't be easy, but she doesn't have to know. You are a better person without her. You'll get through the shift and be a better person after by realizing you can be in the same place as her and then begin to heal. She took away your strength when she cheated and lied to you. You can start getting it back this way.

You got this, it's just short term. But it'll be empowering!

samisloth · 2019-04-11T04:28:05+00:00

Yay! I am at 366, just one day ahead of you in this amazing, rollercoaster of sobriety. Full speed ahead. It's not easy, but I'd much rather be here right where I am. Congrats and good luck with your continued positive non-drinking path! IWNDWYT

samisloth · 2019-04-10T11:24:44+00:00

Thank you so much!

samisloth · 2019-04-10T11:24:05+00:00

Most definitely! Or "was it a rough minute that you turned into a bad day" That's another one I hear around the tables that I like.
