Had an amazing day 1 yesterday. Though it started off like most. Waking up with shame, regret, and that sickness of the stomach. Mainly from the weekend of poor diet, staying up late, and drinking obscene amounts of booze. At work I was at best a sub par contributor. I kept looking at the clock to tick around needless to say. After I got off work I went to a meeting and just listened. No shares just listened. Saw several familiar faces. All smiles and good to see you. After the meeting small talked with a gentlemen and he asked if I had a sponsor? I told him I had been in and out of the rooms for a year, commenced from rehab this past April, but after 80 days I had been on a horrible cycle of relapses and insanity. Long story short he offered to be a temp. sponsor and to give him a call today. I don't know but it was everything I could've asked for at the moment. I feel a sense of hope I haven't felt in quite a while. Just wanted to share.

Congrats on choosing a day 1! I hope you stuck with it so that when you next wake up you don't be filled with the too familiar guilt and shame. Keep going strong with AA, you CAN stay sober!

I'm only a month sober, but I'm enjoying it so much more than I thought I would. I am finding so much freedom in not being controlled by a drink or drug.

I hope your day 2 is even better!

That's so great! I thought "great" and "day 1" together kind of made an oxymoron!

Great news. When a lifeline is thrown your way, grab onto it.

Hope is a good thing! I think just having someone to talk with about things with your sponsor of the hour will helps as well I hope!
