It felt good knowing I have had support for so long but now taking the initiative to do what I need to do to better myself. Good days ahead.
Peace and love.
Keep going!

Great news! The program and fellowship of AA saved my life and my marriage! I Owe it everything. The best gift was hope! âStay in the middle of the herdâ. Stay strong, stay sober, stay connected!
Awesome! That sas a lot when you voluntarily put your self out there and check into a meeting. Keep it up and the journey gets a little easier everyday.
Thank you all of you. I am very skeptical I kept busy all day and I am tired like normal people get and Iâm so used to being restless. I normally would go use. I havenât nor wonât but man I am bored! In time I want to start doing those things I have missed like reading or even a bit more socializing late like I used to party but with out the drugs of course. Anyone else go through this?
Bravo! We arenât alone.
Smiles,

@Highlyoriginal Get a membership at your local gym. Youâll feel and look great, technically youâre not alone there, most gyms have a tv you can stare at if you need to, or get on a treadmill and people watch, but do something physical. âMove a muscle, change a thoughtâ. I used to go to the book store and spend hours perusing the shelves and having coffee, love it! Whatever It is you choose to do, the point is to get out of your house so youâre not sitting in your head! Stay strong, stay sober, stay connected!
Thanks!
So I eded up using after I wrote out how I was feeling the night prior - on the cusp of using, I thought the letter I wrote helped me enough but sure enough the next day I did use
Today I went to a meeting and shared what I wrote and had someone crying. I felt a lot better and still do but I donât know- I feel set back not personally but my one family member has given up on me for my ârelapseâ. I canât allow them to dictate my future not when it comes to such thing as to what I put into my own body.
Much love for the support.
I feel it too through 30-40 min walks (w iHeart radio)
Iâm definitely fighting hard to get the meetings now I have no ride and no Iâm in the middle of nowhere so basically I was using it because you have to get there and back. Itâs funny people say lies and then just donât bother and I donât want to put other people to be my sobriety drivers ya know?
Thank you!
I tried a meeting the other night (took an uber) and it was very boring. I was offered a couple numbers, and the chair(women) gave me her info and said sheâd drive, and sheâs not responded since. Either has the other person who said theyâre take me during the week. I live in a suburb of Philly that the closest thing is a train and itâs a 10-12minute drive, so without a car I canât even get anywhere
