    • About Me

      Sobriety B'day 12-28-75 "Each Day is a New Beginning" is how I try to work my life to the fullest. I have made some colossal mistakes in my life but being a part of AA has not been one of them. I went to AA when I was 25 and I didn't go because I thought I was an alcoholic, I went because I wanted to be dead. Leaving the alcohol and drugs behind made my life easier but what made my life good was the nature of the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions in Alcoholic Anonymous and working the steps. My husband died in 1994 and while I stayed physically sober, I was spiritually and emotionally on a 'dry-drunk ' for a long, long time. We had 2 kids together (they were 4 years old and 8 years old, at the time); I could not raise them because of my depression and I asked for help from my family. My sister helped but she lived in Georgia while I lived in Ohio. A lot of very difficult events and times have passed. Now the youngest boy is 19 and I live with him, in the house that he bought... and we are 'roomies', a very tough spot to be in - it is hard to see him drinking and using. But I have never given up hope. I hope to meet some new friends and help other recovering people. Peace and Love

      You read between the correctly! Its interesting this journey called Recovery, as it has taken me over 13 years to have a real desire to work a Program. Yes, I have had years of being dry, and years of being being sober in the program half way. It took a complete smashing of my life through this last relapse 10 months ago to somehow break my Ego down to a God sized hole. I am glad you found the post helpful, I did too! Peace, and Thanks for the feedback. Lesley.

      From CoogeeMum Wednesday

      Thank you for your kind words. It really does give me a lift to hear them. We all get discouraged, but it would be selfish of me not to give what was so freely given. I have to remind myself sometimes :}. I lived in Adelaide for 3 years. Hampstead Gardens. Get's steamy hot in summer and we're expecting a boomer this year. We need more of you here at DS too.

      Welcome to the GOYA group DnSage! Thanks for jumping in posting already..interesting stuff. I never even heard of that before this post. You will see a bit of teasing on this site, just know that's all it is. We try and have fun. I always check out the profiles of new members and all I can say to you is WOW! 34 years! You are an inspiration. Again, welcome.
