So, I am not drinking and I am extremely grateful for a that as I got one of those reminders of what happens IF I choose to drink again. The stress in my life has been significantly higher the last few weeks. Therefore my program got put on the back burner...man I hate when I do that because then I feel absolutely crazy when I come back to my normal routine...including meetings, calling my sponsor, etc. So this week has been one of those times where I am getting back to my normal routine and I feel absolutely CRAZY. Anyway I trust that God will help me get back into the groove of things again and look at things honestly as I am doing one heck of an inventory on the last few weeks. I love this program as it has saved my life...now working my way from just not drinking and some step work to happy, joyous and free. I thank god for the sponsor I have she is exactly what I need now at this time in my life. Sorry just ramblings.

melissa, as i mentioned i think to u before the "key" is "willingness" and change. it seems you have that and i am happy for you on this journey of a new way of living. for some of us it takes time to get it right-meaning not drinking-but in my heart i know you can do this as suggested by AA. your sponsor is your guide-thank goodness you have one! i knew i couldn't do it alone and my sponsor helped me stay focused on what i needed to do as well as meetings. just remember you do have a choice re drinking...get drunk or go to a meeting instead. 'think throught the drink" and it will help you stay sober. i know you know this so i'll shut up
 . just so happy "you want it". you will never regret it. you deserve to be happy, joyous, and free!!! PS thanks for keeping us posted. we care

Hi Melissa ~ Pretty soon after you've been in the program awhile, living the program will become 2nd nature to you, and you won't put the program on the "back burner" anymore. It will just be part of your life, like breathing is.
 The minute you vary from that path, you'll immediately get right back on the road. I'm glad you're doing so well. It didn't seem to take you long at all! Good for you! Hugs, Lee

Hi,
I like these "just ramblings". I'm in AA for half a year now, and sober, also grateful. And coming to this forum and reading things like this, also keeps me focussed. Just reading and knowing that you (all) are there somewhere, knowing what I feel, feels good. Thank you for that. And keep it sober! Best wishes, |
