Wonderful news!!

I think Chino said it as I would have:

You did do something. You made the effort to go and you did it with an open mind. That's everything!

Making the step to just pursue recovery in and of itself was a groundbreaking moment for me. All that I learned and all that I achieved from that point...the way I think of myself, the way I view others, the way I understand my feelings and needs....all followed that moment.

Without the first step, the journey cannot begin.

You have opened the door to a journey, and it took tremendous courage to take that step. That courage has now enriched you. That moment has allowed you to see the world differently and see yourself in a new way.

Go to more meetings. Try some step work. Read. Post. Journal. Sit quietly each day and think on your needs for that day. Just keep moving forward.

What follows from here can be so amazing!

Proud of you
