Well I most certainly don't claim to be God, but someone has heard you. I welcome you. I've been on the site a little more that two weeks, I also live in a more removed area and I love it here on Miracles In Progress. I feel that a new day without alcohol is ALWAYS better than before.
Sincerely,
Angelov8

Aloha Beverly and welcome to the group.  I understand what you are saying
certainly about not hearing HP.  I have a suggestion though right out of my
journey...Try listening with your eyes for a while too.   HP contacts me thru
my ears and time but more thru my eyes...kinda like seeing is believing.

Keep coming back...you got family you haven't seen yet but you will feel us
for sure.

(((((hugs))))) smile

Hi Beverly and Welcome,

Know that feeling well, at least the part about living in a new area, and not knowing anyone, did that 5 years ago, and the ONLY thing that I HAD to find were the Meetings. I went online, got a meeting schedule and began with Mapquest to locate these meetings. It really helped.

Or you could call out of the phone book, the local chapter to your area, and call a few places and tell them you need a meeting, but dont have a car, feel pretty sure you might find someone to help you get to a meeting.

With God, we talk and talk, and sometimes ask "Are you listening" like HE is going to yell down, yes, lol.

But HE is there, or none of us would be sitting at our computers, writing to other alcoholics, SOBER, right.

"Trust God, Clean House, and Help another".

And with the lonliness, try Private Messaging some of us, you can PM me anytime.
and maybe help you not feel so darn isolated.

Prayers to you dear.

Toni

I have found giving in to a higher power to be most helpful. I am sure you will in your situation.

When you let go of pride, ego and resentment you can hear God much better. God's voice isright behind all those.
