Sober Anniversary

[Guest bobbi/robin_p]

I'm Four Years Old tomorrow. 15 Oct 2003 is my sobriety date.

This year has been about coming out and not freaking out. I did notice that me judging people and how they would react was totally wrong and off. My expectation of what other's would do surprise me constantly.

Like my sponsor told me at the top of the year.

"It is amazing how those people are more open minded than you"

GOD got me sober and directed me to AA. The AA program taught me how to live sober and be ME. The Fellowship of AA taught me how to love myself. Service in AA taught me how to deal with all you crazy people

I made a decision with step three. I get to live my life as a girl. That was all i ever wanted.

I'm no saint. I still have problem with money and relationship. The one thing that i do is Show up for life and PARTICIPATE in it. I make decision and i try not to worried about the end results.

I try to live in today and not time trip. Time Tripping means i regret the past and i leave a piece of me there. I try to control the future and i leave a piece of me there. No wonder i get screw up in the head.

I don't cringe inside that much anymore and that is a Blessing.

that's it my anniversary rant. I get to talk about me all week in the meetings

Wow! 4 years... that's great!

Last week, I finally made 90 days. I can't even imagine how much saner my head might be after 4 years of sobriety, meetings and working the Steps.

Sobriety,

Peace,

MK

Huff, It get different. I still cause drama some days, giggles. I is crazy.

I hung out with the old timers and i did service to keep me from being bored. I found out when i was four months sober that i had a lot of time on my hands.

Hi folks. In 1 week it'll be a month for me. Thanks for the message Robin/Robbi. 1st time in 36 years I've been sober for a Month. It's like being reborn. I've got a wooden sign in my kitchen that i found at Goodwill it says " keep me going Lord." Even the grief that i get in daily living is being handled. For those that are still drinking remember that little voice in your head, listen to it. That's your higher power. At first it's hard but it does get easier. Bye for now. Jolene.

Congratulations to you all!

[Guest Sergei]

Yes, I second that. Congrats. You are all an inspiration to us. I'm still struggling with the drink, keep stopping and then starting again. I really hope one day I will make it for good.

[Guest Jolene4ever]

You will, my friend,you will. Jolene

[Guest Robin/bobbi]

Congrats, Jolene. I'm happy for you.

No matter what don't drink even if your Bytt falls off. Pick it up and get to a meeting. We won't be able to fix it, But we will be able to comfort you and direct you to the next right thing.

This is a WE program. You never have to be alone again!
