GOD Willing I'll be sober nine years on 8/22/17. One day sometimes one minute at a time. The program which I call a way of life is blessing me to learn how to live before I die. Im reminded that when I first picked up and used alcohol and drugs is when I stopped growing emotionally. Sometimes if things don't go my way Im like a 9yr. old kid having a temper tantrum and pity party. Thanks to my recovery I am learning how to grow up. There is nothing more important to me in my way of life/recovery than to grow up. further more I've learned that I can only grow two ways, emotionally and spiritually. I've also learned that I must be willing to help another especially some one who may be suffering from the very same thing I have been delivered from. I have to give what I have away to keep it. I'm joined this group to give and receive support to insure my continued recovery and to be a support for others in their recovery.
