Greetings, everyone.

I am also glad to see some new faces.

I have a terrible cold, which is shutting me in now.

I have been attempting to break out of isolation, avoidance, and antisocial behavior by going out every day, but since Friday, I've been inside, sick.

My symptoms get worse when I have to isolate.

I am glad to see all of you today.

I did go to an online meeting, and it's not the same as face to face.

My new behavior: I am not running away from the world now. I am inside because I am sick, not because I am isolating.

I used to like calling in sick to avoid things, but now I hate being sick!

i used to welcome sickness for this reason, but now I don't. In fact, I really crave going out and dealing now.

I feel like when I first learned to swim---find me a pool now! lol
