I am new here and about to go to my first meeting after a five year hiatus. I am here to tell yo u it doesn't get better. My first sponsor used to say that a belly full of booze and a head full of AA don't mix. All the clichés and acronyms ….used to piss me off. I have alcoholism not alcoholwasm…. Glad to be here and thanks.

MajestyJo · 06-11-2018, 02:10 AM

Hope your meeting went well. If it didn't, don't stop going, go to another meeting. I know what you mean by cliches, "Meeting makers make it." I love the slogans. They are great mini steps to take along with me daily.

Hi everyone...my name is John P...I live in Melrose, NY. Last month I celebrated 38 years of recovery.. It certainly has been a journey these past 38 years--progress, not perfection; a journey, not a destination; a process, not an event...one day at a time. I'd never trade my worst day sober, for my best day drunk. AA saved my life--physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually...I have a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual condition.

I have included some of the documents I have composed...if interested.

Welcome to the site John, so glad you found us. If you are like me, you have found that we have a living program that we take with us a day at a time. Tammy has the say on the documents, as long as they are recovery related I have no problem as long as it isn't advertising for an outside issue.

bluidkiti · 06-11-2018, 11:35 AM

Hey John,

It is great hearing from you. Congratulations on 38 years!

I hope you will continue to come and share with us. Have a great day!

I am Deb, an alcoholic. I attended my first AS meeting this past Thursday. I had realized that I hated,and I mean hated God and the fact my drinking put my fiance in jail for a parole violation. All because I had beer in therefrigerator. He gets out July 7th but they added the stipulation that we cannot have any contact with each other until he gets off parole November 17th!!! I knew I had to go to something so my therapist suggested AA. I really had to think about it. I made up my to do this!!

MajestyJo · 06-16-2018, 04:11 PM

Welcome Deb, so glad you made the decision to join us. A daily dose of the day's meditation can start your day off on the right foot.

There is a lot of recovery material in the site. I hope you continue to come and share your journey with us.

We do have a private check in for members only.

It is okay to be angry with God, but it helps to go back later and ask for forgiveness. I found out He wasn't so bad after all. For the most part, it was my decisions that got me into the situation I was in.

In sobriety, you can do lots of thing, the only thing you can't do is pick up that first drink. As they say in recovery, 'one is too many and a thousand isn't enough.'

Hi I’m not new, but had to update my account since I couldn’t access the daily readings anymore. But saying hi anyway. I am sober a little over 6 years and find the readings are great to use for mediation and step work. Thank you for this site!

MajestyJo · 06-18-2018, 06:24 PM

Thank you for signing in and saying "Hello!" It is good to hear from members new to the board or new and/or old to recovery. It doesn't matter what fellowship you belong to, to my way of thinking, the 12 Steps are a common denominator between them all.

WELCOME!

bluidkiti · 06-19-2018, 06:55 AM

Hey Deb and Denise,

It is great having you both join us here. Please make yourselves at home and let us know if you need help with anything. I look forward to hearing more from the both of you. Keep coming and sharing with us.
