We would like to recognize your Anniversaries in the 24 Hour Club

However...

If you have not signed in for over 10 days I cannot assume your date is the
same or that you are coming back. Over 275 people have come and gone
through the 24 hour club since Dec 2013. It's heartbreaking but it is
the truth and just the reality of addiction. I pray that many have just moved
on to bigger and better things and are still in recovery.

So, if you take the time to sign in at least once a week, hopefully more, we will
be happy to take the time to recognize your Anniversaries.

If you are returning, Welcome Back! Please let me know your current overall
clean date if you would like us to start posting your Anniversaries again.

Thank You!

Thank You Miss venuscat for your service in Congratulating our
wonderful Celebrants behind the scenes.

Roster for April 26th is on previous page. New Roster will be posted 24 Hours from now at 10 pm EST USA 4/27.

How will I know I may be close to a relapse?

It will start with Dishonesty -It will begin with a pattern of little lies,
I may justify bad behavior, making excuses for not doing what I know I
am supposed to be doing for my recovery.

Impatience - When I have an attitude of I want what I want NOW.

Being Argumentative - When I have to have the last word or to be right.

Depression - When I am repressing my sadness, what is the"exact nature"
of those feelings? When I start to isolate.

Frustration -When things don't go exactly according to my plans. When I
lack acceptance on my part.

Self-pity - Blaming others for the way my life is.

Cockiness -Thinking I Got it made. That I Know all there is to know.

Complacency -When I no longer see the value of putting forth the effort
to recover or have contact with other alcoholics/addicts.

Expecting too much of others - If they would just do what I know is best
for them? Placing unreasonable expectations on others.

Letting up on disciplines- such as using the tools I have such as
meditation, prayer, my spiritual readings, AA contact, daily inventory,
meetings.

Being ungrateful - I may start losing sight of all of the abundant blessings
in my everyday life. For ex. forgetting where I came from and how very
sick I was.

The Jails, the Institutions, the suicide attempts, the broken relationships,
lost jobs, crashed cars, deep and utter depression.

"It can't happen to me." - Feeling like I am cured.

Omnipotence - Ignoring all those danger signs above, disregarding
warnings and advice from fellow members.

Entertaining thoughts - When I start playing with the idea of using in my
mind, imagining what it would be like and telling myself the relief I would feel
then I am in big trouble.

I actually have a few of those signs above and I really
need to address them.

These are my signs they may or may not be yours.

Are we dangerously close to a relapse today?
