Way cool, you hit it right on the button - I am doing what I can for myself by posting here and being prayerful. I know the power of example is powerful, and I believe he can see the good in me. It just is so freaking hard to see my son go through this: I hate it. I hate alcohol. Bah - humbug! Thank you so much (and BTW, I have a sister who lives in Reynella, SA, even though I live in the USA!)

Close Alcoholism
my name is annemarie and im from Australia, i am an Alcoholic/Addict and have been clean and sober for just over 5 months.I am at step 4 and yes its hard but i just try to remember...fearless inventory as got quite scared and worried.Im doing okay and alot is coming up right now from the past....then i find myself having to deal with stuff right here in the present and kind of a double whammy. I havent had a drink for today and thats all that matters for this alcoholic. :)
Treatments

- As im on the forth step and it can be confronting and scary.....im there and not as bad as i thought....i remember to make a fearless inventory...not a fearful one
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- Wonderful is the word here and been in a country area the support is great and i feel so welcome to each and every meeting i go to. I look forward to them,especially my home group.

Close Pneumonia
i went in to hospital for a normal operation and got very sick,with chest pain,fever,rapid heartbeat,and a cough. Ended up in intensive care with ARDS(acute respirotary distress syndrome) and my lungs were full of fluid and i was basically drowing in this stuff.At first the antibiotics didnt work and i nearly died.3 times.I never want to go through that again. Today im better,im alive thats all that matters.
Open Osteoporosis
just had a ct scan and have been diaognoised with osteoporosis and have been referred to see a bone scan person and because im on public health this could be a matter of years before i get into seeing the actual person to do this....i get so sore in my back and at present im on painkillers but they only work for a certain amount of time and have to take them in the am as helps me get up and going...im scared my back will stoop when i get older,in fact i dont want to even think about how it
