New around here.
Hello everyone,
I kinda found this place by accident (or one of those coincident that isn't a coincident.) and am having a ball reading posts. My first experience with recovery was forced upon me at the age of 16 but thank God for liquor and drugs for finally bringing me to a jumping off point of a brand spanking new life.
I have been in and out of AA,NA, and CA for the last 16 years never able to completely give myself to this simple program until June of last year. Hell i was even in contact with a group of people that were all about the 12 steps and nothing more, but even they could not help me till i experienced what it truly meant to be convinced by the pertinent ideas in how it works. This is not the most "time" I have had before but it has been the most happiest time in my life. also can honestly say if I am ever to get loaded again then I cannot discredit the twelve steps or God but can discredit myself. That i truly know that the 9th and 10th step promises are real for me. So if this is all a delusion or I'm crazy then this is the best crazy ive ever been. Thanks all for being active members and allowing me to join you along the path.
