I should join this too.....

I'll be 54 this month, so I need to have a support group with people my age. In some ways I feel my age, and other ways I don't. I'm so glad that I've given myself a chance to live longer. I really don't have that much going on in my life right now, but hopefully I will and I want to stick around to find out.

I love being over 50 and now I'm going to live way past that....heck, we may even start another group in a few years! ha

I went to AA/NA for years, started a meeting, went to the conventions, potlucks, dances, and speakers' meetings. I joined a local singles group, tried three different churches. It was a fun, lively part of my life. I think the events of the last 10 years of my life have crippled my desire to get out there and risk getting torn down even more than I have. I haven't given up on myself, but I've built a steel wall around myself, I guess.
