@pvctom2021 Twice this week, I heard a comment from the same person, that made me really think. "I am always happy for a person who wants to better themselves, and moves on, but when that means I lose them out of my life, I am not happy. I hate to lose people in my life." It really made me think, as she and I were commiserating about someone dear to us who is making a huge geographic move in the near future. So, it prompted a journal entry about that, from me. We move on, or others move on. And it made me think about the geographic move I made 5.5 years ago, leaving behind close friends.

Being the odd man out can be a good thing. It can demonstrate to others that yes, this can be accomplished, anything is possible!

Thanks for this nice comment… you have been very helpful to me as have other members here at Mayo Connect…you’re right, anything is possible …. and the people who have ‘dropped off’ were called back to heaven or in retrospect not really friends at all, just people I did things with over a period of time..nevertheless, it still has a psychological effect on me… because if you’re in a room with people (in my case playing music 🎶 with others) and you think you’ve got some rapport with these people, then suddenly they’re gone, and the whole thing has ended, you have to wonder what happened? That’s why I am still trudging the Zoom AA meetings..it is something or somewhere to be a part of although it is there that I can’t help but feeling like ‘the odd man out’…if you don’t work the steps with a sponsor, the thinking is ‘that person is just dry’…that may sound like paranoid but like the saying goes ‘perfect paranoia is perfect awareness’….Bless you and all who come here and hope you and all have a good week…🙏pvctom
