- I'm a survivor, a strong person. Despite almost continual abuse as a child, I became a career woman,and a single Mom. Despite alcoholism, and drug addition, I am now clean and sober for twelve years. Everything I did in my earlier years I did despite the weight of my problems. At present I am medicated for my mental health problems of depression and anxiety. Life is better now although I am disabled, and ride an electric wheelchair to get around. I also have a wonderful companion. His name is Donovan, he's a boxer, a dog, that is! I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Meetings
I go to the "problem" meeting a couple of times a week. People still pet Donovan as I say, "No, no, no." Then they stop and say, "Sorry." I explain to them as best I can.
We go to an early morning women's meeting where he is the darling, like he used to be at the "problem" meeting. I keep him mostly by me after he says hello to a couple of women.
I still haven't taken the hour bus ride to the other meeting that I can get to. In another couple of days it won't matter…

Still Trouble
Donovan and I are allowed in the meetings as long as he doesn't attack anybody. They are saying that he attacked a child. It is very upsetting and makes me not want to go there. My friends are coaxing me to go and I hate to disappoint them, but it is really stressful to even contemplate going. I need a lot of feedback as to whether or not I should chance going to the meetings at this particular alano club.
Donovan has not attacked a child. He barked at a child that yelled in his…

It's Over. I Guess?
Tonight I talked with a friend of mine from the alano club that banned Donovan.
He called a member of the board that oversees the alano club to find out what the official stance was.
The member of the board said that Donovan was not banned, and that as long as he stayed right beside me he could attend the meetings with me.
I am going to the meeting on Wednesday with Donovan. I will see how we are received. I will make an announcement at the end of the meeting…

It's Gotten Worse
Not only have "they" outlawed my service dog from the alano club, "they" are saying that he attacked a child! I am really upset over this and will go to the ADA hotline to get legal help. I am going to sue the pants off "them." My service dog can't speak for himself, so I am his voice. I get really angry when he is maligned and the above is the worst he has had said about him.
He went through specific training to enhance his innate good nature. He often stands in the…

Well after 3 weeks of flooding right here in my area + 2 cyclones which crossed the coast just north of us so lots of wind & rain and since then lots of storms which has been playing havoc with the internet. Tazz & I are settled in our new home in north queensland living right on the beach with our staffie dog Cinda and my cat Ceefa. Lots of riding with the clubs here & a small AA group which is very different to where i used to be. Had a bad injury to my shoulder & arm from a fall which has taken months to heal and could not do anything ( not even brush my own hair lol) so put on some weight. For the last month have been working out on my Wii and have so far lost 6kgs & my muscles in my back and arms are getting stronger which has helped to heal my injury. Tazz and I are planning to go to Sturgiss Bike Week in South Dakota in August so hoping to meet some online friends who are on the way from Los Angeles to Sturgiss (have to find out who lives along our planned route) So am excited about that but still lots of planning to get it to become a reality! Take care & love & hugsz from Australia
