Some people find their Higher Power or a God of
their understanding and never return to the
drink or drug.....I have my HP and my faith to
guide me and give me strength but im no holy
roly.....
Im also not a people person either.....not
completely....At my job im soooo into people....
I love my customers.....I love the hugs, smiles, the
reward of my service work i do with people....
Yet at home im totally different....i isolate....i like
being by myself.....i enjoy being on my own....
making my own choices...i like being my own
boss.....and yet ive been married for 24 yrs
with 2 college kids...none of them are recovery
people....JUST ME....
Do i feel alone there YES.....Do I need
AA Support... YES..... Very much....
And u know what....my AA support,
family is back in Baton Rouge....
Not here in Houston....of course
that is of my own making.....
I guess it took all of 6 yrs to finally
bond with my AA group back home that
after moving here to Houston, I didnt have
the drive to start over again.....however....
Im here in SR....and I LOVE IT..! However....
It doesnt take the place of one on one...
face to face....that interaction of other
human beings.....to hear the voices....
to feel the touch of anothers hand
or arm in a hug....
I dont get the support in and from my family
that i soooo desperately need here in AA .
