Thursday

Today we got our mentors. I got my first choice: Wayde. I think he'll be a good match personality wise and with similar experiences in the addiction field and owning his own business. And he's just down the street, convienent. We met with them briefly and usually shy me started talking and didn't stop. I'm not sure I took a breath or let him speak. I did the same thing at lunch, the minute he sat down. The waiters put different food down in front of me but I don't think I ate. In fact I can tell I'm losing weight as I can't eat with the excitement of this experience. The rest of the afternoon we worked with our mentors discussing our LEI's and starting the process of what areas we need to be addressed. I already had one task for mine and I wanted to start that day. I got the instructor to let me have a few minutes at the end to try and recruit people for our SA council workgroup. I thought this was a great opportunity to advertise what we are doing as people came from all over the state and SA Directors were present. Of course no one signed up. We had dinner at the social with our mentors but neither Wayde nor I wanted to stay so we ate at the hotel. I went swimming again so I could calm down enough to go to sleep.
