I finally did it!

I finally got the courage to go to an AA meeting today! Going back really wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I have to admit, it is so comforting to be in a room full of people who REALLY understand what I am going through. I can just be myself!

I exercised a lot this weekend too so I'm feeling pretty good. I think SR, AA and exercise are gonna be a good combo for me. Oh...and I need to make sure I am "kind" to myself. :-)

I hope everyone had a great weekend. For those of you still struggling....never EVER give up!

Glad things are going in the right direction. Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Keep doing things that move you toward sobriety one day at a time

Thanks FreeOwl! It means Serenity in Spanish. :-) Serenity is something I have been searching for my entire life.

Hey ElleDee, I am a crazy cat lady too. How many do you have? I am down to two cats now from four. One died and the third one I gave to my best friend because she was being mercilessly being bullied by one. Love my cats. And love your picture!

I am new to SR and have been thinking about going back to AA, I just feel so embarrassed to go. I know no one really has to know, but I am having a hard time getting up the courage to go. Have not come across a meeting where I feel similar to others, even though I know my problem is similar.
