I went to a meeting. This dude says to me are you new? I say no, I'm here to get a sponsor. Dude says, raise your hand. Say that. I ask him, even if it's irrelavent to the topic? Dude says yes. I raise my hand. I'm gonna need a sponsor, thanks. And three chicks came up to me all at once. I thought I was gonna have a panic attack. So I talk to this chick and incognito throw in that my history involves more drugs than alcohol. She gave an incognito "I can't be your sponsor" so I text this other chick and say if I tell you my history involves more meth than alcohol? And she said yes. So worth the emotional trauma of them all coming up at once.

Well done and all best wishes you could not have been any more humble.

I was always too full of pride to ask anyone for help and I always did it my way :{


Ahh the AA way is wonderful.

Emotional trauma sucks. Good work caring about yourself enough to go through it.

We will change when the pain of where we are exceeds the fear of where we're going.   True isn't it?   Good work...keep going.  (((hugs))) smile

Still working on making myself want a meeting. :) I might not always want to go but I make myself go and every time I am pleased that I did :} Even when I come home annoyed !

Why because today that makes me human. And today I know that being angry or happy is not going to be making me pick up another drink. Not now when I can come on here too lol.

This forum has given me some kind of calming effect :} :} And its keeping me sober.

Thanks ALL :}

Got an assignment. And I have my sponsors BB, I'm trying to copy her notes and make my own so that I can give it back to her asap (she has other sponsees and herself she may need it) so I've spent all day flipping between my book, hers and my notebook. I can't help but wonder if I have switched one obsession for another today. Everything in moderation????

 Don't worry about it, I was told to devote as much time to my recovery as I did to my drinking, so I did, it was a full time endeavor (I had fun too)

Moderation comes in time with the return of mental health
