Changing Times

I have been slow with my blogging because I have been too busy. I have started a new job at the mall and a home business selling cosmetics.

I have been through the wringer a few times this past week. My old friend who I used to drink with has e-mailed me with obcentaties about my husband and calling me a manipulater and lier. She said how I put down Tiffany (it might have been her screen name) , how did she know I had a blog?-because Tiffany said what I did not want to hear, it was cruel in my opinion. All that was was a result of trying to do 9th step work, making amends for deceiving her in regards to having the door open to my future husband. I discussed it with my sponsor and she said that it sounded like my friend was abandoned. She got on me for calling me a dry drunk last summer which is something that you don't say to someone. My sponsor said that people should not be growling at your feet, which she was doing. My family is not siding with my friend now(with the exemtion of my stepfather who still gets his hair cut from her and they are still very good friends). My ex-friend does not even know my husband first of all, and she has violated some AA traditions by telling my stepfather what my husband has shared in confidence at meetings.

On a lighter note I did a little service work today at an outpatient facility by sharing my experience, strength and hope to an outpatient substance abuse program and it was truly rewarding. I feel safe blogging again since I can share my experience with others rather than reviewing movies, the idea was ridiculous anyway.
