| AM I a newcomer or what? I have been trying to get sober for 20 years..Been to AA--Treatment---so am I a newcomer or what..........I am sober after pure hell this past year and Im happy--I have always felt people with a support group will usually make it .I loved AA but after so many relapses I didnt feel welcome anymore. So now I have a support group--a chuch who welcomes drunks--druggies and it is a nice church..There is a little more to the story...but I'm happy and content cause I really know these people care.............or whatever the reason......IT JUST TAKES WHAT IT TAKES --I really feel for all you ones that are hurting...that is the story of my life..Trying to quit and not being able too....Also I loved this site and all the support here. You ones that were here last year--THANK YOU---and where are you Dee. IT TAKES WHAT IT TAKES AND I TOOK AND TAKE A LITTLE FROM THIS SITE EVERYTIME I COME ON.................... |

|  Glad Your Back!It took me many, many trys, years and tears but by George! I think I got it! I guess I was just making it too darn complicated. Stay clean, get honest, find a HP and surrender. I imagine I'm gonna get some flack for that, but you know what? It works for me! I'm Happy, Joyous & Free, going on three years now! Your Church sounds like an incredible support system for you. Glad you found what you were looking for and what works for you. God Bless, Judy |
