But I celebrated three years tonight. I definitely couldn't have done it without the coffee.

I kind of dreaded it, since I had to sit up there in front of everybody and think of something to say. I don't mind sharing, but this was different, since it was all about me. But everybody seemed to like what I said, so it's over for another year, LOL. And the women are a pretty supportive audience, plus my friend sat with me, chose her to give me my coin, so that sure helped. But the most important thing is that I have my coin and three years! I used to think I'd never make it for three days...

I had been meaning to tell you. I was supposed to celebrate in April, but I was so sick that I lost my voice. But this worked out very well, celebrated with the women's group I've been with since late 2008 and they're just the best, even bring little presents, but all I really wanted was my coin!

They really do matter! It's the one downside that I ended up picking an online group as my home group. I don't think it would have the same impact if I ordered one. But I only have six months down so I have another six months to see if there is a group I attach to in F2F. Besides, the last time, I thought there was an end point. Silly me.

A month late. Sorry, I don't make it to DU much these days (and why oh, why did I come here today? LOL - crazy over on LBN).
