Took some steps tonight

Hey All- went to an AA mtg tonight...I suspended my disbelief AND that little voice telling me it would be too shameful, too embarrassing, too late .... and got myself a sponsor, a home group, and a service position....I'm going to take action despite my thinking and rationalizing and most of all my fear....cause thats what its really all about....FEAR

Good for you Rob for taking care of yourself.

You notice that my avatar says I'm Dancing in the Light. For most of my life I lived in fear and in the dark. When I came to SR, I met people who encouraged me and pushed me to step out of my fears. It's hard to do, but we are all here behind you, supporting you, as you move forward with your recovery.

That's great Rob!

I'm going to reread your post before I go to my Wednesday meeting to help me deal with my fear of asking someone to be my sponsor.

Nice one Rob..

I was scared too, made it to one last week and shared for the first time ever (I've been in and out of AA for a while while still drinking), but I still haven't managed to get a sponsor or service position - CONGRATS, you are an inspiration.

I hope I have some news like that after my meeting tonight

M xxxxxxxxxx
