Boy was I glad I didn't give in to temptation when my sponsor presented me with an 18 month medallion at the meeting this week. I had completely forgotten and he was about a month out too but it was a real boost. Had a joke with the others and said I would give my 12 month one to the first person to get there. I cannot take credit for this success, my higher power must. And I am just coming up to two months without fantasies. I still struggle. This week I was definitely looking with interest at a work colleague too, good job he's far too much of a gentleman to take the bait.
And I have to remind myself that at least now I know why I am doing these things and why I shouldn't do them and that they do not bring me a fraction of the joy that my new friendships do or caring for myself and others.
There is some talk about setting up a new meeting in another area close to where I live, carrying the message further north. It would be good to be a part of that. Cara
