Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.
By the Grace of my HP and people like
you here in SR I havent had a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely grateful.
What is the best thing to do or the
best place to go to avoid lonliness?
Any clues?
Today was my day off work so I
headed to a noon birthday meeting
not to far from where I live.
Birthday meetings allow us to hear
for ourselves how our program works.
Whether someone picks up a year chip
all the way to 20 something yr. chip...
we hear exactly how they managed
to stay sober for as long as they have
one day at a time.
It never fails how i hear something
i need to hear at each meeting....just
like today I heard loud and clear about
something that I could do on a daily
bases to avoid loneliness and stay sober.
What is it?
Help other alcoholics achieve soberiety
or ny helping another alcoholic achieve
sobriety by sharing my own experiences,
strengths and hopes with them....
And what better place for me to be,
is right here in SR or at an AA meeting.
That way Im always with another alcoholic
and thus never alone.
How about you?
Thanks for letting me share.
