She is fully functional in her job, and always has been. It is tough when
half the people she goes to their house have half full bottles all over. She
is ready for that challenge though. The rest of her life will be this way,
but she is starting now. Happy Birthday to Cindy.
Having a great morning, and new direction today. She has the hardest AA
meeting (the first) under her belt, but is looking forward to more of them.
Already got a voice mail from one female helper, and she is very positive. I
am here for the week to support her too. She is comfortable with others
knowing, and that (to me) is a sign that she has admitted it to herself, and
is ready to change.
Thanks for the +++~~~
