backbeat

I'm six days sober and have been struggling, and I was starting to weenie out on the idea of a meeting tonight but I looked at the newcomer's forum and all the headlines were indicative of the pain of a slip. It's so easy to forget that pain and despair and sadness even just days later. That forum is always such a clear reminder and I need to start my day by doing that, and end my day by doing that, and remembering to be so grateful that today I'm not in that pain, and do what I can to help everyone who is in it.

So I'm very grateful for the newcomers' forum and for all the newcomers. I'm one too, but I'm very grateful we're all here to help each other, from just by example to taking the time to respond to a message or chat in the chat room.

I agree with You, backbeat. Reading posts daily helps me keep my priorities straight...#1 on my list...don't drink, no matter what!

Don't allways do so well but allways here. As they say keep coming back it works.
