Hey all. I am writing this to anyone who cares, but more importantly to get off some good stuff to the world. This month has all in all been rocking! heres the scoop:
1) Very little doubt, and my dysphoria too has been manageable! I also havent had ANY massive panic attacks or as they say meltdowns since begining of month
2) I feel more connected to my femininity this month the probably ever in the past 23 years.
3) Not a drop of alcohol has touched my lips ONCE this month, in fact not had a single beer since March 10th!
4) My friends and family have been seeing improvements of myself. I am more out going and chipper and taking more inititave
5) Also, with that said I have been exceeding at my current job (Baker at the local grocery store). During my review my manager said that I am doing really good and, I have been imformed that upper management has been recieving letteres from customers commending me on my out going job performance and going above and beyond to help them :)
That, is just a few things that have been going on with me latley.. April has been such a great month.... Cant wait to see what may brings for myself you all of you! xoxox
Hugs-Ashley

What a great update, glad to hear things are turning around for you hun. I know you were having a rough time there for a while so I'm super happy that you've been able to find a more peaceful state. As far as the alcohol, that's a huge achievement, so good for you!!
That's excellent news! I'm so glad that your life is changing for the better.

Thanks all <3
Hi Ashley,
Wow! That is just plain wonderful news for you girl. I'm proud of you for doing so well this month. I am also glad to hear about your abstaining from the alcohol. Reading it and the fact that you felt it important to include that milestone tells me that you have had difficulties with alcohol. Well girl join the club. I have been sober for over 18 years and drug free over 22 years. Both were problems for me and I am proud of you accomplishment as it is not an easy thing to do.
All the rest of your news is good to read about also especially the job review. Being noticed for excellence on the job is always good. You should feel really good about the letter from you customers, not many customers are willing to sit down and write their praise for an employee.
Good Job !! Ashley
Hugs,
Laurie
All right, Ashley! I'm so happy you are doing so darn well. This is really great to see.
Keep it up!
Michelle
Freaking awesome, Woman! I'm so pleased you're finding your focus and getting centered. Your new attitude is as cool as your new avatar. It makes my tired old jaded butt very excited to see you so actualized.
Now send me some free croissants....and a dozen donuts...the groovy kind with the creme filling. And some bear claws. Damn....I loves me some bear claws! I will check my mail daily to assure I get them as fresh as possible.
Ashley, you're rocking it gurrl....

I have 14 years sober, so I too understand the importance of getting rid of that toxic garbage.
5 years without tobacco also...sugar is next.....
Congratulations!
I've also been alcohol free for 30 years.
Lovely to read your post this morning Ashley :)
Peace and love and all that good stuff,
Sadie
So happy for you Ashley I,ve been alcohol free for over fifth teen years your feel so much better for it.
I am so glad to hear that you are doing well, and especially that others around you in real life are recognizing your worth. You go, girl!! :)
Thank you so much everyone! I appreciate all your support. Now, just wish us luck that our house sells this May so we can get aplace in the new city soon as we gotta be here for July :O!!
But yes, i am amazed. I didnt think on April 1st that April was going to have so many milestones :)!!
Thanks! <3
I'm so happy for you Ashley! ;D
I love your new pic, your smile is so telling. Hugs
Congratulations Ashley especially with the alcohol, I quit drinking 30+ years ago when I realized being drunk everyday did nothing for the gender depression. It only served to make me hung over, feel like cr*p and kept me broke.
Fantastic news Ashley!!! Proud of you girl. Hope May continues to bring you good news and success.
Thank you all so much <3
We're all very proud of you!
Georgie
Well done those are all great achievements.
My April was surprisingly great too :D
Must have been something in the air. Lol
Thank you all!! I am very happy about these changes. Also, new change.. i am nowhere near as stressed at work(where anxity tends to spike higher)... It is nice to be at work and be at peace and be able to fully focus on task at hand:)
