We used to go to a unitarian church/fellowship years ago.
Really liked it but it was so small and the elders there wanted different things( discussion group)...etc. We dropped out many years ago. The fellowship is still going on, new location.I think I may start to go there again. They meet at 1030am sunday morning.....That is usually the time that jeff and I go out to brunch. So I will have to consider that.

Thank you for your continued support!

You guys are great!
love bizi

I will go to the UU fellowship this morning. it is 34 Degrees out so will wear long underware and a heavy coat. Might pull out my parka, high to day of 49. It was so windy yesterday!!!! gusts upto 40 MPH. And it was raining the early part of the day.I was wearing a light rain coat and a sweater. burr. My blood has thinned and I hate cold temps. Living in the deep south we get humidity in the summers.Give me the heat. I got my raynauds in my fingers while reading in the bed the other night. We keep our house around 69 degrees.
I woke up this morning clear headed officially one week sober. Slept great!
Have a great day yall!

Congratulations on being one week sober, Bizi!

I'm glad that you slept great!
I hope that you enjoy the services at the Unitarian Church today

Stay warm!

An awesome aspect to the WFS site is that they have a
sub group for women who have mental health challenges too.
So It is the perfect forum for me since I am bipolar.
The whole site is huge and I could have easily gotten lost so am glad to find
the smaller group.
Church this morning was disappointing.
It did not start at 10;30 like we thought...they have a coffee gathering then the services start at 11...it was a business meeting so we left after the brief service, before they started the business aspect. Every one was so friendly, saw a couple of folks that we knew from before.
Jeff the pres and arlene the membership committee leader. Both very nice...
She wanted to know why we left so many years ago. I told her it was personal.
I was not ready to tell her I got overly involved and became manic so had to drop out of everything to come back to some sanity. Just being there was the pull to belong. If jeff and I can get up earlier to have breakfast at the diner than I would go back. I am definitely looking to make more friends as I have few. And the UU's(unitarian universalist) is the closest religion that I do ascribe to.

I did not see my ex girl friend Susan who attends the UU fellowship. I was hoping to see her there. When we got home I texted her...she has not responded. She broke up with me when her hubby divorced her...Paul is my Hubbys best friend. She is the first person to ever call me an alcoholic, not to my face but to her daughter who mentioned it. I was horrifide!....I told her that I have a drinking problem. I was in denial back then. This past year I have tried moderation and that does not work for me. I can't drink just one.

Lunch consisted of 3 scrambled eggs with spinach and a side of more spinach and smoked sausage. Cut every thing up and made my own scrambler! I put some hot sauce on it and was delicious!
Jeff just had a bloody mary with an egg and some pickled okra as garnishes. I did not even miss the bloody mary.

Jeff just left to watch the new orleans Saints play football with the guys and left with guacamole and a big ribeye steak. I will have left overs for dinner tonight. Then we are going to a birthday party for one of jeffs best friends and colleagues. I am supposed to be dieting. I am bringing my orange flavored sparkling waters tonight.
There will be deserts there.
I will try to be careful and choose wisely what desert I will eat.
I love sweets and will allow myself some....I have to make this new life style work right?
Just need to be mindful.
Have a great sunday!
I hear cheers in the back ground outside so one of the neighbors must be watching the game!
I am doing a load of laundry, my uniforms for the week. Maybe I will go to the gym later and walk on the tred mill.

Am proud that I went to the gym and walked almost 3 miles on the tred mill.
Came home and ate eggplant/tomato mousaka which was delicious,
and had 1/2 cup of chicken salad.
finishing up a sparkling orange water with liquid stevia flavored sweetener, makes it taste like a dreamsicle. Yummy
Now am getting ready to go to a NAMI (national alliance of the mentally ill)
support group meeting.
Have not been in a year or so.
Hope to see some familiar faces.

The NAMI support group was smaller than I remembered. There were about 10 of us there. I knew some of them from before when I went. Carolyn is the daughter of one of my clients who past away this last year. She is very nice and gave me her card/phone number. I will call her and, maybe have coffee some time. She doesn't have a car so there is that. The meetings had changed some more structure which is good, small enough that every one shared twice. We talked about self care.
They meet 2 x per month.I will keep going.

You are doing so incredibly well, Bizi!!!

I love that you are putting yourself out there, trying new things, and giving old activities, like the NAMI support group, another try
I think that the WFS program sounded impressive before, but I think you will find a great home there since they have a forum for women with mental health issues as well

Great job going to the gym!

I'm so glad you are finding new groups.

My sister and my mother both enjoy and enjoyed NAMI. I never could
get the time to go. I did things with the group in Kokomo still do
at times.
