Day 12
Yep it's day 12! Unreal! I'm going to a 'meet and eat' meeting at noon, looking forward to that. Feeling pretty good, hungry hungry, my legs are still tired. It's like a chore to bring up my knees. Weird. Doing some cleaning, food shopping today. Thanks everyone for being here.

Wow!
Thank you all so much, I just checked this thread and it's so great seeing you all here.
That meeting rocked. About 50 people there, a step meeting. I introduced myself and said I wanted a sponsor and to work the steps after the applause died down lol when I said it was my 12th day of sobriety. They passed a schedule and I got it back with 13 women's names and numbers on it. We did the meeting, 12th step, then there was some discussion. One man asked if I had heard the Promises, and directed his share to me, it was very moving as he spoke from the heart and I had tears in my eyes when I froggy croaked "thank you". He liked that I asked for help like that right up front. He was so kind and I was kind of floored.
Funny cuz I read the Promises on Monday at my first meeting.
So afterward a lady approached me and let me know how glad she was to see me there, and asked about me wanting a sponsor, I said maybe you could do that? She said, "I can." 26 years sober, older lady with a face as smooth as a baby's butt. She got me a B book and gave me a reading assignment, the preface and forewards, and told me to call her tonight. Which I did, we talked for an hour, she talked about AA's history, and some about her life, and asked me about mine. We click. This is amazing. The woman who sat next to me had written on the card "will give rides", which worked out that she is giving me a ride tomorrow since I will not have a car. This group meets every day at noon! It just worked out beautifully and I am thankful. I even got invited to a bonfire by my temp sponsor.
Just..........WOW. Oh and we talked about the first step on the phone cuz you bet I'm powerless over alcohol and hell yes my life is unmanageable.
And we talked about what God is to us.
Just.......................WOW!!!! Thankfully amazed.
