I want to go to AA tonight but half of me doesn't see the point. I've already jeopardised my job and pissed all my friends off and basically ruined my life.

The jeopardizing & pissing off is in the past. Now is now.go to AA--what's to lose but an hour, eh?--& see what you want to do with your present and future.
I totally ruined the first 35-yrs of my life & tossed the ashes of two careers out in the trash. Then a true friend dragged my @ss to AA, eventually I sobered up in a rehab unit, went with intent to AA, got a superior AA sponsor who chewed what remained of my @ss for a couple years till I got my program working. Now, at 66, I've had a couple more careers--successful & sober--and I haven't ruined this half of my life. Of course, you're not me. You're younger starting out! Even better. Roadie |

Hello everyone. I know its been a while and alot has happened. I had my gastric sleeve surgery and the surgery itself went fine. I had some complications and instead of a two day hospital stay I stayed a week. I had extreme pain and nausea. I couldn't keep anything down for 5 days. I'm doing well now. Christmas was kinda depressing and lonely but the kids were happy. My church helped out alot for Christmas. One of the sunday school classes gave me money and two other people also gave. Everyone is so great at my church and I'm so sad to leave. I'm moving back to my parents on February 4. They have offered to help me through my spinal surgery and to get back on my feet and get a job. Well I guess thats enough about me for now.

Well November21, 2005 was the day I decided I was done with heroin and needed help. I left Maryland ands went to long term rehab and never went back to live. My move back in February feels strange. I am very stable and confident in my sobriety but I also know not to be overconfident. I'm hoping I don't by chance run in to any of the old crowd but I'm thinking its pretty unlikely considering I really have no reason to go to any of the drug areas or any of the old hangouts. I'm excited and slightly apprehensive slightly apprehensive at the same time.

It's been a tough road indeed, Cheery, but I'm so glad the physical recover has gone well. Kudos to your folks--& to you for taking nothing for granted. Overconfidence has no place ever in recovery.

Hello, rossiv46 ... you seem to have a few doubts about getting through the holiday sober, but I commend your foresight in making plans that ought to have you successful. Having a sponsor and working your12-step program is certainly giving yourself every major advantage.

I feel awful again. Slept with a guy and he would shag anything but he won't shag me again. And I'm not exactly ugly or anything. I don't get it
