Hi all. I'm an ignorant new person to this forum and I'm getting a headache as it looks to be so involved/complicated these posts. For me the trip started when I asked for help and started a journey I didn't believe would happen. All I needed to do was stop drinking and work on MY characteristics that took me down the path of escape. Years later I'm still working on me. I'm not religious but believe in a high Spirit more powerful than me. For me it's KISS and it works. I was very active for years, try to help another in recovery and still go to several meetings a week for a memory refresh and remember when. I know that's me and there are so many other personalities around. BE WELL
