I have been in a deep dark depression, and getting back to meetings....well nothing was budging.....I have been doing a ton of Prayers my Higher Power....
And Dean Post yesterday was right where I was at, was looking at another 4th Step.....and then finally got in touch with a gigantic resentment of another, wowy zowey maybe that was the underpinning of this depression...anyway working on that step and continuing the two meetings regularly...my new (old sponsor is not happy about my not going everyday, that is what she does, But I will get to the Point of my Post, for many years now I have gone to Classmates, all kind of search engines trying to locate the only real Soul Sister I ever had when I was very young, and yes, here it comes.....she had been looking too, and finally we have reconnected...spent about 2 hours on the telephone, she lives here in California too, not close, but for sure drivable, well an 8 hour drive......
She was my sister, in Spirit....and we are once again reconnected and that ole, what did I call it that resentment, not me......hahaha...So bubbling over with sheer Joy, and thanking GOD for his favor in this....really felt like HE Restorethed my Soul and I am so very humbled....
What a lovely story. I'm sorry that you have been facing some depression but glad that it is being lifted. Funny how our past heals itself when we get and stay sober!
Cool stuff, Toni... I too met someone God wanted me to connectwithi, my mom's best friend. It has been a miracle and a blessing. We never know what is around the corner as far as blessing are concerned, but it sure is wonderful when they occur.
Love and hugs, Joni
