Introduce Yourself

[MajestyJo]

Welcome Rcouse72 for making the decision to join our family. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your sobriety.

Recovery is a process and takes time. My primary purpose was to stay clean and sober, no matter what, just for today.

I was told to look for someone I could identify with and someone who had what I wanted. I chose one who was spiritual. She fired me because she said she wasn't well enough to give me the attention I needed. I was one of the very sick ones. The second lady oozed peace and serenity, but she let me go, because she didn't see me at the meetings that she went to. I had moved to the opposite end of the city. I got a sponsor, who was very much her own woman, worked for a treatment center in Toronto. She had a VW convertible, and we would drive with the top down, smoking cigarillos, sing country music, and got lots of stares because we both had gray hair. I ended up going back to my first sponsor.

Wishing you well on your journey. I hope you continue to come and share. Perhaps you could start your own daily check in, just to let us know you are still with us. Feel free to ask questions, there is a lot of material here, hopefully you can find something that meets your needs.
