Ah....thank you all so much for telling me I'm an inspiration, knowing what I am doing is helping others never ceases to amaze me. Phoenix was great; I got to watch my program in action after the night kinda fell apart and the plans completely changed and I had split second decisions to make. I was able to use all my tools to keep me sober and safe, and it was truly amazing to see my program really work. I came right home and straight to sponser's house-the next day-after I had planned to come home that night. Long story short, there was a turn of events and the girl that road with me decided to go back with some other members and I stayed in Phoenix with a guy in the program. After some serious praying for guidence, the decision to stay with him rather then tackle the drive home at 2am exausted and alone was made and I slept on his couch. We both worked our program hard so we'd have no regrets the next day, and finally cleared the air that friendship only is in our future. The fact that I ended up staying at a guy's apartment in a strange city put me close to the edge of the roof. It could have gone bad if we both hadn't of been spiritually fit, so I'm extremely greatful at how the weekend worked out. It was a learning experience for sure, to see what I'll do differently in the future, and to see that my program works not only for keeping me sober, but keeping me from reverting to old behavior just because it's familiar and I know how to do it. Tonight I stuffed welcome packets for the conference. A project we all thought would take forever, and only took about 45 minutes....what a difference it is when you all work together with a common goal. The conference is almost here! I'm very excited, but I'll also be releaved when it's done, and then we'll be forming a brand new permanent standing young peoples commitee to have events year round for fun unity and service. I have truly found the fun in sobriety, and I am so greatful! Thank you all for being a part of my sobriety today. =)
