Welcome!!

Glad you are here!

It was shared with me early in my recovery that an Alcoholic/addict is going to do exactly what alcoholics/addicts do - drink/use/steal/lie/ blame others/ whine/ avoid responsbility/ blah, blah, blah . . .
we didn't cause it
we cannot change it
we cannot cure it

BUT we can CHANGE ourselves
we can take good care of OUR own behaviors, responsibilities and find the ways to ensure that we are treated with dignity & self-respect - especially starting with the way we treat ourselves!!

Hope you are able to make those meetings - they absolutely without a doubt SAVED my life!

PINK HUGS,
Rita

PINK HUGS to you
