Try a new thing - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Jennifer J. · 11-30-2002, 05:56 PM

I spent so much time in my drinking days being in a walking coma I forgot, and didn't care, that there were so many options in the life we are blessed with in recovery.

I decided to learn how to use a computer , in my old age and it gave me the gift of this sight and all the love and support we give one to another.

So thou knowest the best HP it's try something new for me!

It's funny as alkies we likeour comfort zones and balk at change.
But when we finally do accept we grasp on to it as if it is all we have! I am so blessed as I watch you grow ((((jess)))).

Hi pie, I love you!

My kids were both gone last nite for the first time since I can not
remember when, I had a friend come over and she and her husband visited with me until they had to go put their kids to bed!

They are normies but I love them all the same, the progress for me was that I called someone and told them I needed some company. In the past I would have put myself in a sad space because I wasn't willing to pick up the phone. Geez that thing weighs 100 pounds sometimes!! Now it only weighs like 50 for me....SMILE... I love to hear from you and read your message.

Love in Recovery,
Jennifer J.
