Welcome! People wake up. I did this year and my teen and I faded fast. Hopefully, your brother, or by now his children will have started questioning things that make no sense And you can have a. Reconciliation.
Carpe Diem!

have been visiting jwn for about a week now and it motivated me to join.
i look forward to meeting everyone i can and learning from their experiences and wisdom as i search for more and more reasons not to get reinstated.
here's most of my story:.
Welcome! Nice to have you. I'm in Florida, too. Learned TTATT this year and have so far, successfully faded with my teenager.

Oh my - I've held off, but was planning A year end email to the fam. What points did you make? Sending good vibes your way.

My parents wedding anniversary is in December and growing up we had a large celebration every year. I never felt I was missing anything.
if anyone knows mouthy/grace gough, it would be awesome if someone would look in on her.
she is feeling the effects of the ice storm and is all alone and it is christmas eve.
i just sent her an email and received this reply back:.
Glad to read that you are okay, Grace. :)
awesome is a loaded word.
we may think it relates to something flashy and expensive and elaborate.
or we may think of something else.. for those of us who are out or coming out, awake, or waking up, choosing to celebrate can be very symbolic of how far we have come.
Cute! It's our first year celebrating and I would love to post a pic of the white tree we did, but I haven't been successful with posting pictures on here.
