- Sounds weird maybe but everytime I share about my recovery I feel like I am saying I have something or other figured out. In truth, I only know what has worked for the past few mos.It causes me anxiety whenever I start to think "I get it". I...
- I never felt afraid of anything before. If something seemed scary, I just got up in it's face. I got pissed or drunk and that felt safe.Now "pissed" is bad if I want to stay sober.This "surrender" has me feeling vulnerable and afraid of...
- I like this. Sounds like where I want to be."Humility is perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, or irritable, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing that is done against me. It...
- Actually had one of my mtgs ask me if I would mind giving them all back... Kinda funny. I do have a pile of them.What it made me think is that this action would somehow be closure on that phase of my (non)recovery. It felt good for a minute that...
- Took my 90 day chip at my home group this morning. As is the tradition in this mtg, people with "birthdays" are asked to share at the end and so I did. Nothing profound. Weird I know but some people clapped afterward. It was actually very...
- In THAT moment when I realized I could not keep myself sober and I did not really want to die, but death seemed better than my condition...I surrendered to "nothing". I gave up "trying" to keep myself sober because I realized I could not do it...
- In order to drink, I was willing to risk everything, even my life. When I realized this, I was finally able to give myself permission to place my sobriety first, and I mean above EVERYTHING else. If I was willing to risk it all for a drink, why...
- These are words that kept me trying and believing my life might actually become everything I wanted it to. We memorized this in treatment and read it aloud every day. Love it."If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be...
- I love this from the AA Big Book. We read it every day in treatment. It took every bit of 60 days for me to get it. "Nothing happens in God's world by mistake." Everything that happens has meaning. I believe everything in my life is by design,...
- I actually turned some stuff over to God, prayed for guidance to know the next right thing, and then I just waited for an answer. The answer finally came and I knew it was the right thing to do even though at first I had been fighting it. I...
- http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Alcoholism/forum/5847123-dont-know-ifThis was my very first post here in Dec 2008. Someone replied with "If you have to ask..." which scared me enough I disappeared and didn't come back for months.Not sure if it's good...

- For LUCYBOOOOO!!!!!!!!Missed you while you were gone but knew how necessary it was. I am just glad you are back and feeling good. It's the start of a new life :).I have tons and tons of faith in you girl. You are going to positively impact a...
- Anyone ever heard of Emotional Freedom Tapping? I think it combines acupressure and positive affirmation type stuff to change our thought patterns. Someone suggested it to me. I don't know much about it. Here's one link I...
- Anyone know what's up with Rob? I haven't seen him around here for awhile. Hope he is doing okay.
