Tonight I had a friend in recovery call me and invite me to a meeting that I haven't been to in quite some time. Instead of going to the meeting I planned on going to I went to the one that my friend was at. We read a part of How It Works in the Big Book and dicussed the 12 steps, primarily step ine. Well most people shared on step one, including me. I had so many people sharing their strength and hope after I shared. It was the best meeting I think I have ever went to. I met women also, some that have time others that don't. My whole day was already brightned when I walked into the room and saw a girl that was at my first meeting ever 2 1/2 years ago that had been my sponser. We have both been out of the rooms and seeing each other tonight after being out has just brought an amazing peacful feeling inside. We we're so close and now we have one another again. The women and I stayed at the club house after the meeting talking, sharing. We made an agreement to call one another everyday to draw stength from each other. I feel I have a support system here now. I was so wrong about the people in Beckley! They are great and I have to admit I was very, very wrong! God has blesssed me again with people now to lean on, not only dreams! Plus I almost have another day sober, that's a blessing in itself! O' yeah and I have all of you wonderful people here on SR that inspired me to go back into the rooms in the first place. Thank you all, your helping save my life! I l have much love for everyone here... My gratitude is soaring high... Lots of love, Susan

Thank you for replying to my first "post". It is so helpful to get feedback. Rather like you i went to a meeting yesterday that made me feel FANtastic. I am only just realising how much I need people and persons and friends to aid me in my recovery. Having someone you can "check in" with every day is very important too because you never feel cut off or with no-one to talk to that truelly understands where you are coming from even if it is just to say Hi and Bye, i find it a tremendous help. Congratulations on your sobriety. xx
