Hi I am so happy to have found another way to connect to a recovering alcoholic. This year has been like a forest fire for me. I am not a first time a round winner in fact have been in and out for 25 years. I currently am a week away from five months and have a lot of stuff going on.....Bankrupcy,foreclosure, a recent breakup and my three youngest kids are struggling in there addiction. It's nice to know that I have a place from home or iphone that I can reach out to for help. God is taking care of me!

Thank you, Astraa, for the welcome message. I love the cartoon drawing of the lady in her armchair with her cat and her hot drink. I tried to thank you earlier, but I had a problem with the computer I was on last week.

I'm Paula, & I'm a cross-addicted alcoholic!

Thanks, Astraa, for starting this group.No matter how much sobriety or time you have in the program, you can always learn and even relearn!

I need to remember what you said yesterday about love and gratitude.

An attitude of love promises us gratitude in abundance. We'll never doubt that all is well when love is at our center.

Back to the #1step...I just got a new sponsor, my 3rd, and we are getting to know each other. I am doing alot of new assignments, it's scary and refreshing at the same time!

What step are you on now? Sounds like step 3 issue, turning your life over to HP.
You know what they say?
If you turn it over and take it back, it's just all f'd up! (like flipping a basket of bread over at dinner!)

February 7, 2010 Paul is working very hard with his math. Apparently math is NOT like riding a bike. It takes a while to start feeling like you are in charge of the math again. Thankfully, my son the teacher is a math teacher. He is working on his…

What a great gift! I would love to share these with my husband and have him keep them on his desk as a reminder of how much I care about him - we are so busy and don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like, but this would be a constant way…

Yesterday (Day Two) was a day of 2 gifts, inadvertently. My conscious gift was leaving a card on the windshield of a good friend. Just a little something to acknowledge him, let him know much I appreciate his role in my life and honor our friendship…

My gift this afternoon was to my co-workers. After leaving an interview, I brought them drinks from Sonic (hello, Happy Hour!). Cokes and tea. And smiles all around!

Okay, so I had written out my Day 1, a pretty good size and promptly erased it! Maybe patience is one of the things I will get to learn in this process? Yesterday was day 1. I gave a gift to my x-husband. We have three boys together and have been d…
