aa friends Community Group
Welcome. If you come to visit for the first time and have some questions feel free to ask. PM someone if you like but don't stay a stranger. We were all in the pit. We know a way out. No condemnation and no hammers. Just ask and prepare to make a load of friends.
Sometimes we want to be someone else รข anyone but who we are. We want to be someone who feels more free and at peace. We want to be someone who doesn't have to take medications day after day. We want to be free of the pain and loneliness our illness has brought us.
But whether we get what we want or not, what we need is to accept ourselves, our illness, a desire to become well, and the guidance of our Higher Power.
Today, do I accept myself, my illness, and the guidance of my Higher Power? Do I commit myself to recovery?
Thought for the Day
When I look within, I will discover that accepting myself and being myself are far more fulfilling that expected.

What a gift this Recovery is.

Actually, so much truth in what you say. Even sober, sometimes the fine art of knowing who I am alludes me.
Possibly because addiction, alcohol, tobacco, food have often kept me from living as who I am.
