- "I have a feeling that if I ever find myself in Heaven, it will be from backing away from Hell."Fr. Ed Dowlinghttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/AAHistoryLovers/message/1731Made me think. Wanted to share.
- Starting over. Feeling pretty hopeless and ashamed. I had 3 mos without a drink, a month without any mind altering substances.I picked up a pain pill rx last Thursday with the intent of getting high. I don't really know what I was thinking. Ended...
- Congrats Tracy!!!Tracy and I came to DS about the same time last year. She is a sweet kid with a great sense of humor - always makes me smile :).I am really super duper proud of you girl! It has been awesome to watch you go from struggling and...
- I thought I had to drink again and again to find a harder bottom before I could get and stay sober. I was pretty sure the more I dug, the more trap doors I would find. Some people said... I hadn't felt enough pain. I wasn't desperate enough. I...
- (IMO)Self awareness.I have a couple people close to me who seem to have very little ability to look at themselves. It's always other people and things to blame. It's never "what can I do to help myself" or "what was my role in this situation".They...
- I started back to work this week... It is amazing to me how many people want to know what kind of "fun pain meds" I got for my knee surgery.lOne of the managers asked and I said I only took them for a few days. Her reply was "But you got the whole...
- I have noticed a couple sober alcoholic friends who don't seem to have a program but are always at meetings and hanging out. They don't seem like they are recovering. One continues to relapse. I said to her "I have a good sponsor I can recommend...

- My mom so desperately wants a relationship and I just can't get myself there. It breaks my heart every time I see her. I never really bonded with my dad - I was devastated when he died. I am terrified it will be the same with my mom but I can't...
- I have a disconnect with my own emotions - I think this is probably common as we are so used to escaping. I will deal with it in time.What kills me is how I am seemingly unable to be there for people who need me. I have not been to a funeral since...
- It's something I have always wanted to be but never felt like I was. I just don't feel like I participate in life, even sober. In fact, this dysfunctional feeling is the thing I am most aware of since giving up booze.I look around me. My...
- Dec 5 is my new sobriety date.Everyone has different opinions about this. In my opinion, I compromised my sobriety. Not debatable.I had knee surgery Dec 1. I did ALMOST everything I could to avoid abusing the pain pills. I couldn't stay honest...

- Is there a way to see a list of all subgroups related to alcoholism? Some new members are asking what is available.If you want, give a link to your subgroups here.
- Another post got me thinking... A lot of firsts in early sobriety... I had a couple of necessary milestones myself recently and am looking forward to more.What are 3 firsts for you in sobriety?Mine...1) First sober Thanksgiving in as long as I can...
