A belated greeting Mr. Chip, sorry I missed you. Hope you continue to come and share your journey with us. Remember this is a we program, and I need you for my sobriety.

To all newcomers to this forum,

Welcome from North Dakota! Glad you are here.

Good Morning, my name is Joe, I am an alcoholic from Lockport, NY.
I start every day with the recovery readings.
The readings put me in a good place, and help me to never forget what I am.
The readings have helped me in countless other ways with the advice and philosophy that is presented here every day.
I admire the love and dedication of those who make this site possible.
I don't know why it took me so long to introduce myself; today is a good time to do it because I am up an hour early. I forgot to set the clocks back. In a way that is a bonus-I get an extra hour of being sober.
I love to play golf and cook.
My user name is aasavedme.

an extra hour sober...I love it.
welcome.
and thanks for your post.

MajestyJo · 11-03-2013, 06:11 PM

Welcome to you both, thank you for sharing. It is good to share the "good" in recovery, I like that extra hour too. Doesn't matter if the day is short or long, a lot of it is our state of mind and our ability to put thought into action.

captpaulge · 11-04-2013, 02:45 PM

Each day we stay sober, we stand a chance to create a better life. Fear doesn't have to rule. I can attest to that. While i was drinking and thinking alcoholically I was afraid to change or try anything. Today I am in Liberia. with a 27ft boat ready to start a charter fishing business. All because of AA, my home groups, my sponsor, my sober friends and a family that believes I have changed.
My name is Paul and I am a grateful alcoholic.

Hello and good morning. This is the first site out of MANY that I have found that really has fit me. I am in my first 30 days of sobriety and recently out if an intensive outpatient treatment program. I'm having a difficult time trying to find "the way" outside of constant care. I'm going to meetings but still haven't reached out to anyone to become my sponsor. I'm a tad bit of a control lady so letting someone help has been some what of a challenge. Thank you already got this site. This is what I've been looking for.

MajestyJo · 11-20-2013, 12:04 PM

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.

Hello all----I'm Lucy and I am a cross addicted alcoholic. My anniversary is 12/4/08 and it's not getting easier---just harder. Need some inspiration to find my happiness and work on my program.
Thanks for being here.

Lucy

MajestyJo · 11-26-2013, 11:18 PM

Welcome Lucy, glad you decided to join us. Hope you will continue to come and share your journey with us. It is one day at a time, and I know for me, I need the program just as much as I did when I came through the doors.

I qualify for just about any door I walk through, so I try to identify instead of comparing. I know I am an addict, I used people, places, and things for many, many years.

dogbert570 · 11-27-2013, 09:28 AM
