Crying after a meeting

Yes tears filled my eyes when I realized I never have to drink again that was last Friday. Step five well it gonna take I don't know how long but more then one two three sessions. I'd say between 5-10 hours I got an hour tonight. I love AA the unity recovery and service so many have helped keep me alive I'm so grateful. I already had a fourth step written. Not that many amends to make but I really want to have a new experience with every step. Thank you all for your support I'm stable and I'm loving life everybody who walks threw the door is a Miracle.

I've cried after meetings. It really is a relief to know we never have to live that life anymore. Hugs.

I worked so hard on my third step watched youtube from the Sumerian tablets to New Age the steps are in order for a reason. I spent a month watching youtube 16 hours a day I was raised by world enders witch is bad for schizophrenia. I love AA I got my own conception of God owe what a relief. On my way to my home group 7:00 am Early Birds!!!

To witness the transformation on folks
faces, to soften around the edges is something
worth seeing for myself. But then to have
it done within myself was nothing sort of a life
changing experience. Like as if the weight of
the world was lifted off my shoulders. Tears
of joy, understanding and acceptance fell quite
a few times over the yrs.

I heard angels and cried during my first meeting (it was in a church and the choir was practicing off in the sanctuary!) but I was really crying because it was the first time in twenty years I heard people being honest about their lives and emotions.....you don't hear many angels or much honesty sitting at the end of the bar at last call nearly every night.

I cried again talking about step nine and the damage me my dad and my brother all alcoholics the damage we've done to our Mother. And my sex addict sister. My mom has insomia anxiety and takes medication for it. There's no one I love more then my mother there's no one I harmed more then my Mother. She forgive's me she says she can't believe how much I have changed the last ten years. That's when I started coming to AA ten years ago. She forgives me but can I forgive those that harmed me and myself I struggle with these two.
