- for a group discussion, I'm wondering what new hobby, passion or activity you've started since finding sobriety? It could be anything.mine is remote tent camping. last year I camped in 20 different U.S. National Forests in eight western states...
- "If you are free, you need to free someone else." Toni MorrisonI read this quote today and thought about my recovery, the power of Daily Strength, and how we've been given this opportunity to share our freedom of sobriety with one another,...
- Feeling very grateful for this group today. I found strength and guidance here when I decided to quit drinking, support and nonjudgment when I failed, and open arms when I finally committed to breaking the chains of addiction and needed help. AA...
- While I've enjoyed sobriety for a while now, I occasionally think back to the decades of drinking I did, knowing that I had a problem but unable to stop. My abuse began in my teens and continued until I finally committed to sobriety and recovery...
- Seems rather quiet on this site lately and thought I'd start a discussion on the gifts that sobriety has brought into each of our lives. Yes, there are likely many, but if you could focus on just one to share it with the group I thought it might...
- As most AA meetings across the country are shutting down temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a few members of our group would like to offer the temporary service of providing one-on-one support for anyone arriving at our site needing...
- As most AA meetings across the country are shutting down temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was wondering if we could perhaps add a temporary service with one of us volunteering for a day to be here for anyone arriving at our site needing...
- Hi friends, just an update to share with our community that I eclipsed two years sobriety yesterday. So much has happened in my life over the last 24 months, but perhaps the most important thing to note, especially for newcomers coming to...
- The Holiday season is here and also the challenges for those of us in recovery. The temptation at parties and celebrations, the memories, both good and bad, and perhaps the loneliness at seeing others enjoying the season with families and loved...
- alcohol is always somewhere close to me, ads on TV, in the movies I watch, at the restaurants or friends homes I visit. but the thought of consuming it has become so foreign to me after a year of sobriety, so distant, that I really can't imagine...
- This morning I woke up without a hangover, clean and sober. I didn't find a wad of clothes laying on the floor next to the bed and didn't have to check my wallet to be sure my AMEX card wasn't left at some pub last night. I also didn't have to...
- Worked late last night and was sooo tempted to go out and have a few drinks to "reward" myself for the good effort. But in the end I decided I wasn't going to trash nearly 11 months of sobriety and know that I'd wake up this morning regretting it....
- 10 months ago today I made my third attempt during May 2017 to stop drinking. The longest I had gone in that latest round of quitting was nine days before relapsing. The third time turned out to me a charm for me and I haven't had alcohol or...
- ...and I've been thinking about what I've learned in this recovery process. Here are some observations in no particular order:1. My commitment to sobriety has to be renewed every day2. New friends are coming slower than those I had to let go...
- I've read several posts lately where someone has relapsed after a week or so and feeling really down about it. I get it, been there a few times myself, but please don't give up! I imagine that about anyone here who has been sober from a...
