You're looking fab in that photo Manon,,,might have asked you for a date (to discuss recovery, hahaha!!) if I was near where you live. !!

Im doing a lot of walking, healthy eating and Meditation to keep the diabetes, high cholestrol, weight and blood pressure away.

Stepping away from the easy road has been difficult and soemtimes reads lioke

" When Im walking down a rocky road, Im also wondering where my life is leading,
and feels like I still have to go on, to some bitter end.
Strange faces I see and new people I meet, sometimes Serene and sometime a lot of
heat !! Sometimes life feels good and sometiems I feel beat !
No matter what , if I let it pass , and let history be just as it was, basically is a choice.
Then I know, that I will later say
Live to love and love to live, the NA Way !!"

Hey Manon looking good there glad things physically have gotten better workin on the mental emotional stuff and just being aware of our selves is so new to many of us, getting to know ourselves and our idiosyncrasy's, yes a few of us are eccentric even peculiar LOL , I know I can be hard to read by a lot of people mainly because of mood swings and I just swing right along most of the time.

And most of the time I want to be alone because of this, I just hate it but I have found no other comfortable place yet but to isolate at times, thats how weird I am.

I am pulling out more and more making friends, finding people with the same interests, there all weird out there I am finding LOL, just human nature maybe or maybe thats who I am comfortable with.

Hang in there girl your doing great we Love you lady.

Hi Manon.  Never knew what you looked like physically, but you are lovely now.  I did know what you were like inside, where you are very special and caring indeed.  I was on every day for hours in early 2007, but then had a problem with a stalker and had to quit coming here and even move out of state to be safe.  I imagine you remember this at least vaguely, but I don't want to provide any details in case she's still around on this site.  Anyway, you were very kind to me and we talked by phone quite a bit too.  Had a severe, rare symptom in common.  I started checking the MIP site again about a year ago and look it up every so often, but no one is ever there.  When I used to be on it regularly, it was full and thriving.  Is it even still active?  Any suggestions about the best times to try?
