OA Myspace/Facebook
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say that there are two great OA groups on Myspace and Facebook if you wanted to join. Here is the myspace one: Click. Here is the Facebook one: Click.
As for me, I don’t even know. Most days I feel good, but then when the bills come around or the fact that we can’t afford groceries unless we use our credit card hits me, I get a little depressed if you know what I mean. And to make matters worse, my brother hasn’t found a job yet. We just made up a contract though; if he can’t find a job in two weeks he has to find another place to live. We can’t keep on paying for his groceries and whatnot. He’s not being very proactive in the job search – so far I’ve done a lot of the work for him. He doesn’t follow through with a lot of things he says he’ll do regarding job searches…so it’s time to put our foot down. That’s important in recovery – to set boundaries even though it may upset the person. That’s not to say we can be mean and disrepsectful, but we need to do what is right for ourselves because it’s not our responsibility to take care of others.
I think I’ve already mentioned the fact that I’m 20 pounds heavier than my lowest weight. I got rid of some more clothes. I’m becoming more accepting of my clothing size now that I’m not a double zero anymore. But it is sort of sad to let that go.
Finally went to a meeting and I have another one tomorrow. I need to work on my 8th step! :-)
