Hi all It has been ages since i have logged in here and said hello to everyone, i've been spending alot of time catching up on OA and AA reading which i had neglected for a while, so i have been dedicating the time i would sit at the PC into reading time. Anyhow i've realised alot from my time away and as always need to find a balance in my life. I enjoy the experience, strength and hope that can be found on this forum and need to try to check in on a regular basis. I have missed my meetings over the holidays as the clinic we meet in is not open on our meeting day so feel a little lost, i enjoy being part of the OA fellowship and meeting each week for recovery. Although a few of us got together for coffee which i really enjoyed. Anyhow i want to express my gratitude to everyone who has helped me on the road of recovery, i have just got through my 11th abstinent christmas and feel totally in awe of how this simple program works in my life. It gives me so much but most of all the ability to live sanely when all around me insanity reigns. Christmas is always an insane time for me, a time when i have contact with my family of origin. I am grateful that i can be with them over the holiday period and not allow them to trample down the boundaries i have put up around them to look after myself. God gives me the strength not to join in with all crap they are into and gives me the clarity of mind to say how i feel with love and respect. He also gives me insight into when things are non of my business and the ability to keep my mouth shut! Thank you HP............. Lots of love Biscuits

Wow!! 11th years of abstinence. I am very encouraged. I would like to hear more. Please pm me with your story or post a link. I am very interested in hearing more of your ESH. Placing boundaries & sticking to them. I love that, yet struggle to do that in my own life. Would love to hear more. Thanks for sharing.
