Starting over.....again

It's good to be back. I have missed this place. It's lonely in the world of addiction. My heart is aching for the understanding of other recovering people. I am going to a meeting tonight for the first time in a long time. I'm kind of nervous, but I know that will go away once I get among fellow recovering addicts. Today is day 6. One day at a time. Prayer. Meetings. And my friends here at SR. I've missed ya'll.

Sherry

I'm just thankful that God let me have the chance to come back. Jails, institutions and death. I've been to 2 of them and would like to not see the third one any time soon!

One thing that I have come to realize and I have never been locked up in a institution other than Jail, but if I kept doing what I was doing then I am eligible for Jails again. Knowing my luck I would probably end up locked up for life. I am not to terrified of dying. Good to see Ya Sherry. OH Yeah I sent you a email.

It's so great to be back. I have missed my family here at SR. I am going to make it my morning ritual once again to check in here. The meeting was good last night. It felt great, once I made it through the door. I know that recovering addicts totally understand me, and love me anyway!

I don't know you, exactly, but, since you are a fellow addict, I somehow feel I do.

We're funny that way I guess. Anyhow, apparently you are fondly remembered by my other fellow addicts ... that must feel good to you today.

Keep doing what you're doing. Meetings, Prayer, this board... You seem to know what you need to do. I hope you find the strength this go around, and I hope you've come to terms with what led you to pick up this last time ... so you can avoid it like the PLAGUE.

And like I always tell people when they relapse ... remember, you did not FAIL as long as you learned something. What you did was successfully determine ... what does not work.

Let it go, and resolve to figure out a way that does, and ask your HP for help in executing the plan, and you'll be fine in no time

Welcome Back!
