OA Sponsor + water tip

 I texted a couple of people & found one that seems like a good fit for me as a sponsor; got my first assignment. Also did a couple of meetings.

hen,
Did well on exercise, double my goal times.

Water Tip: put all h20 in big bottle for the day, then, when it's empty, you know you met the goal.

    Also, if you want to break up the plain water, may I suggest Vitamin water in the lemonade flavor. It counts as water! It is the only flavor I like as the others have a soapy taste. I have a water bottle that holds 3 glasses. I know that I need to fill it twice and along with a vita water to have my basic 8 glasses. Personally, I like my water fresh and cold, so I like doing the refill.

    Great job finding a Sponsor who seems to be a good match for you!

    Water is so important! When I travel, I always bring a huge plastic water bottle with me, and make sure it is empty by the end of the day.

    A Sponsor is vital in 12 step recovery! I couldn't do it without my sponsor!

Blogday 13(-5)_100days: 'How're you getting groceries?' (& some bi*ching & whining)

Image
  A team I'm on posted the q: "How have you been getting groceries". I started to answer, but once I got into it, and got personal, I opted to not post my very long answer to clog the thread, so I'm posting here. Most of the team did some form of online ordering. I go in and shop, sometimes taking advantage of senior hours, sometimes doesn't work out w/schedules. Also, 4 times so far, my sister, who's an essential IT nursing home worker, and out and about for herself anyway would get us stuff, but she's very into meat and not great at veg. {Okay...here's the bi*ching & whining}: I have no one else to tell, except my one sister (not the IT one, the ww one) and have already said after this is over I am leaving or not doing it anymore: I'm very picky*/specific about veg as is mom about random stuff, and she's 80; I currently live with her (and dad, 85), and still get shouted at because nothing's ever perfect—but the whole fam knows that an

Solstice Blessings

  Blessed is he who speaks a kindness; thrice blessed is he who repeats it. - Arabian proverb This is an issue for me today, and everyday, as I am working towards managing anger better. I sincerely believe that "Spreading goodwill can return to you"...basically moods are catching. Living with mom can be a trial...she is often playing the martyr. SPARK says: "This quote can be read in a few ways, and all of them are worth thinking about. First, complimenting and encouraging others is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to be a positive force in someone's life. As long as you're sincere, repeating that encouragement as often as possible can have effects that far outweigh the effort. Countless people have exceeded their own expectations just because others believed in them." This is true, and I found it to be so as a teacher. But sometimes, like with family, it just is not appreciated. "Second, giving positive feedback works even better if done publi
