I've become a total workaholic with school! I study about 8 or so hours a day, sometimes less, sometimes more... I hardly go to any message boards or chatrooms anymore, I never call anyone any more except my sponsor a couple of times a week... I'm actually not making many meetings either and I need to change that! I go to my mom's once or twice a week, that's about my only break!
I just moved, and I've tried out one meeting here, it was an Alanon/AA combined meeting (they combine them on Saturdays and do it separately on Thursdays). It really wasn't a good meeting at all, not many of us there and no one wanted to say anything, we ended it early. I'm gonna try out the Thursday night meeting, maybe tonight but I'm supposed to go to my mom's today to help her do some stuff, not sure when I'll leave there! There's another meeting here on Wednesdays and Fridays that I've heard is good, so I'm gonna try that one out too. I meant to last night but I lost track of time with my studying and totally forgot about it!
I'm trying to finish school about mid-january... that's really pushing it. My study schedule says I can do it with the number of hours I'm studying, but I know when I get into the transcription half of the program it's gonna slow me down a lot! But I really want to finish before Davey's born so I can find a job and start working maybe a month after he's born. Money is gonna be REAL tight right at first if I'm not working though.
I miss all of y'all, I really need to stop in more and read everyone's posts, but like I said I do almost nothing at all but study now! I told myself I was gonna take today off since I'm going to my mom's, but she hasn't called yet and I think I might do a couple of hours of studying before going over there. School is my new addiction! lol
Hey Lisa Great to see you posting and sounding so well. We had a baby shower for one of my home group members last week. She is due any moment....Hasnt been "working" her program because she's pregnant and wont drink while pregnant! It dawned on her that she hasnt been working a program, going to meetings as much etc....So what will she do after the babY!? Just a little reminder for you...
When is Davey due??!!

Hey lani, Davey is due February 4th! Thanks for the reminder, I think I've been doing that too - not worrying about getting to meetings since I won't drink while I'm pregnant. I've really gotta start getting to more meetings!
Howdy!!
