    • About Me

      I am an alcoholic, sober since 4-6-05 widow, 2 children girl 22, living on her own, Son 19 in first Year in College. In a relationship with a Man that is beyond my imagination wonderful. and all of this is because I am sober and I can be the best person I can, so I get to see the good in others. I am so suffering from Hypothyroidism which in my opinion has gone wild, My tsh comes back within "normal range but I still dont' feel WELL! I have been on dissability since June of 08, and while seeking answers for my symptoms, which are fatigue, achey all over, numbness in my hands and feet, overall muscle and joint aches, can't stand for more than a few minutes, and I have increadible shortness of breath, I have had Many mnay tests and at one point thought I had MG, I do not, so now what? I pray daily, and know that I am being divinly guided, have only known this since I became sober. I now know that my experience can benefit others, I didn't know that is why i went thru certain things in my life, but now I know and it all makes sense! Hang around here, it will make sense for you too!

      Thanks for taking the time to reply Karen. I was having a "runaway" day, overanalyzing everything that came my way, not a good place to be. Prayer and contact with other AA's has centered me a bit today.

    • Little Love

      From kitty41 March 15

      If I call you friend, You will always share a piece of my heart. I will always pride myself, To always be true to you. As much as I need friends, So must you. I will also share a place in your heart, To be there whenever you need me. I may not be there in flesh, But I will always be there in spirit. I will cope with your moods, And try to understand your needs. When you are angry, I will laugh with you. As sadness overwhelms you, We will cry together. If you feel down and kicked, I will pick you up and brush away your doubts. When you think you can't continue, I will remind you that you can. As you become discouraged, I will boost your ego high. At times when you wish to talk, My attention will all be yours. Being a friend I don't take lightly, It's my desire, never a chore. At times when you must mourn, I shall mourn with you. If you need some silence, yet not be alone, We will sit together in the peace of quiet. When you wish to play, You will always have a playmate. When you feel on top of the world, I'll pat your back and tell you, you deserve to be. You will never be completely alone, A piece of me will always be with you. One thing I can always give, Is the gift of friendship for you to accept. Allow our friendship to make you smile, Bring joy to your life as you have to mine. When you become confused and lose your way, Let me guide you in the right direction. Lean on me when you need support, Let me share your sorrow and pain. What good can a friend really be, If you cannot understand we will always care. If I call you friend, You will always know, A friend you have in me.

      You know, bkc7911d, it's true. I just past my seven year mark in sobriety and it's been one heckuva ride. years five and six were literally torture for me because I was all pissy that I didn't have everything back that I wanted back that I had lost. Especially the zest I once had for living. But I hung in there and just like everyone kept telling me...things are beginning to change...little by slowly but the pace is picking up pretty decent now. And our trials, like you said are what force us to grow...it's just that we spent so many years numbing it all away, we didn't know how to handle anything.. we were toddlers or early teenagers in adult bodies. Now we can learn a little joy with the sorrow. That's the gift of the Program.
