Hello all...

After several weeks of lurking I decided I would say hello. I'm glad I found you guys and AA. Today is 40 days and I've settled on a home group and will probably select a sponsor tonight. One thing I discovered, all groups are not equal. I've decided to make meetings I think are beneficial rather than worry about the quantity of meetings attended. Anyway, it's great to be sober and I feel great.

(((Philo))) - welcome to SR!! Glad to hear that you are going to meetings, and I agree, not all are the same. SR has been a huge part of MY recovery, but f2f support always helps, IMO.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Agreed Mpurrfect. I've made 46 meetings so far and really enjoyed most of them. The other day I decided to scale back and attend with the group that helped me the most and was enjoyable.

And thanks for the welcome you guys.

Hi Philo - so glad you found us. SR is a great place to come to any time of the day or night. There's always someone around. It can be a nice addition to the meetings you're attending.

You sound very positive - 40 days is wonderful. You never have to go back to that dark place again!
