No info re the six weeks thing, but heartfelt prayers in

the name of Jesus for your release.

Leftbehind:

You are not your signature! God has His hand on your life.

I have seen it. Don't give up. Others will be praying as

well.

Love you with his love,

I'm feeling better. And I signed up with an AA meeting group just now after talking with them for an hour. So I'm going to be doing my first online AA group. A meeting a day and I have the Big Book online. This will be good for me I just know it . And I have an opportunity to set up a job interview tommorrow. And I found out my foot isn't broke today from the accident at the gym and will be healed in a couple of weeks. It's all good news. I just can't believe my lack of willpower. It sickens me. But they said that's all part of it and will be worked through. Thank you for your prayer .

Hi there Left,
Being honest and admitting the problem and the slip are the thing to do. Good work. I'm glad you are getting back on track and that your foot is okay. From now on I'm going to think of your name like this....leaving the past behind and pushing forward towards the blessings God has in store.
How's that LeftBehind?
Have you tried f2f meetings? Online is wonderful and suitable for many but I like to have 'real' people in my life to balance things out. jmho and what works for me. Eye contact, hugs and someone to have a cup of coffee with....you can't beat that for support.

Good.

That is the starting point. On your mark. Get set. ... Go!

Where I am weak, He is strong
I have a problem.
I am powerless over my problem.
Help me Jesus!

As we run the race, He doesn't run beside us, He holds up our feet so we can run all the faster. He will carry us if need be. With Jesus we will cross the finishline.
