I am two awesome years sober today! Woo hoo! Sorry about the blogging freeze, I just, I don`t know. Besides having a million other things to do, I really feel like I`ve outgrown this blog`s voice, insofar as urls can have voices. If that makes any sense at all. I`ve considered putting a formal end to my posts, but I would rather believe that a new voice will come along, eventually. Ok, so, I`ll see you later then. Eventually.
P.S. Go Meeeeeeee!!!!!
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary sober. Such an amazing acheivement.
Happy New Year.

Go yoouuuuuu, Lea! I am so proud of you and have been reading your journey with much interest (and cheering from the sidelines!)
I hope this is not the last of this blog, but perhaps your voice will find another blog. I certainly hope you keep writing for us anyway.
I'm still dying to read Bar Flower. Will let you know as soon as I get a copy in my hands!
Happy anniversary, m'dear. 'Tis a most worthy milestone.

I just finished reading your book. It was a real page turner and I enjoyed reading about your adventures. Toward the end of the book I became concerned about your future and am so happy to find this blog and know you are doing well. Funny how wrapped up in a life we become from reading about it. Nicely done and congratulations on your 2 years. That's an acomplishment. Your published, and sober. Life is good!

Hey there!
Just wanted to give you a heads up that a profile of you for a tutoring company that you work for (worked for?) is being sent to potential English tutors...(as an an example profile). Not sure if you'd mind them doing this...being that you write publicly about yourself online and have a memoir and all...but just thought I'd let you know!

I have a brief question to ask you and I would appreciate it if you could email me back your response because I'm not sure if it's appropriate to present it through your blog. Granted I could email you but because your email address isn't displayed, you just have a link that takes you to it, the link is faulty when connecting with my computer.
I would very much appreciate your response if you get this!
Thank You...

:) spot on missy, spot on.
Now that I have found your blog, I have discovered the name of your book (which you would NOT disclose to me over Starbucks the other day)
Right, time to start reading....
Hope you are having a good week, oh and PS, happy super belated birthday!
