and now I am found - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

idhigu2 · 06-04-2008, 02:06 PM

Hi SR folks, Just logged in today June 4, 08 shortly after cruzing by the noon AA meeting. Cruzing by, seeing the crowd pour out and light up ASAP. Looks like how I use to feel some 5 years past. Anxious. So I drove on by. The thought, "looks like I use to be". I am picky, I guess. And since I have found that I can be sitting inside at break with the rest of the crowd out there smoking, I get bored, fewer and fewer meetings. But wanting recovery and sobriety more and more, because in over 5 years I have grown and it is OK to seek other avenues to learn more about what is being discovered about the recovery trends from many schools of thought. For me it is all good, and the key is still "don't drink". I have found that I need to grow along spritual lines, intellectual lines, physical lines, and emotional lines to really tap into living life sober. idhigu2
