had fun without alcohol!
Did you know you could have fun without getting cocked? I thought it was a pipe dream, but i did it. This past weekend i went to see the Indigo Girls in Albany, NY with a couple friends and we had a great time. I really didn't have any urges to drink (although i did look around and see all these people drinking and thought it would sure be nice to be able to have one, or two, or three......). Anyway, i thought i would just share that with y'all.
you saved!

That's great to hear. It's easy think that life ends when the alcohol stops flowing and it's very postitive to hear about fun without drinking.

I did meet with a woman last night who we shall call from here on out "MY SPONSOR". She basically told me what she feels the sponsors responsibility is and what i can expect. We both agree that earning each others trust is going to be the hardest part (because obviously alcoholics have HUGE trust issues), but i think it will come in time. I did let her know that 1. I don't trust ANYONE 2. I hate the phone 3. I have trouble asking for help. We're going to start slow, she said i can e-mail her if that's more comfortable for now, but even that is stressing me out. I tossed & turned all night just thinking about it, i even dreamed about stressing about emailing her. What the frig.........it's not that big of a deal. I guess maybe i'll email her and let her know how it kept me up all night - maybe she'll get a laugh out of it. Anyway, that's what i got so far. Thanks for checking up on me.

new recovery
Ok I have been sober for four months from heroin and coke
I have got rid of all of my friend that do it
Speaking of alcohol I was never a big drinker but everytime when I go out I would drink
Now I have realized that if I drink it would trigger my drug habit
So I went out and did not have drinks but I felt Like a idiot and did not have any fun
Now does it mean I just can not go to bars or what I mean I have changed everythng else
