its been too long!
hello to my old buddies. All is well but today I need a little reinforcement. After a nice chunk of my ad in sobriety, I start to get all worrisome and feeling out of control... that means back to meetings for me.

Hope all are well, talk soon

Meetings have always been a good place for me to regain my balance. Glad you are finding yours again.

Welcome back, Jeepgirl, you and your daughter are in my prayers.

I've been going to meetings for a LONG time. I still go - because whenever I get a little too cozy and comfortable and complacent things start to get a bit cockeyed in my world. I notice that THEY start getting on my nerves and aren't doing things the way I think they should do them.

LOL.

I need meetings. They keep me from twirling out there somewhere.

So good to see you again....

I know what you mean...
for me I seem to get "used" to recovery and then get shaky when the behaviors that led to self medicating arise

I guess i forget that they exist and were dramatic enough to lead to substance abuse in the first place...
that's when I remind myself that recovery is much more than just abstaining from drugs

congrats to your daughter on her "clean" time

I have become a little too complacent in MY recovery. AD is doing well. She goes to meetings almost everyday, and if not, uses the phone, every day.
I went down from 3 meetings a week to 2 to every other week, to what happened! Now the old worry records have begun to play in my head - the what ifs the whats next. Good grief... can't I ever be content.
Anyhow, its time to focus on myself again. Good to hear from all of you, and nice to come back.

Oh my gosh, here I am thinking it's me that gets all fidgity in my recovery.
My RAS is doing great, but I seem to be "looking" for signs that just aren't there. I am going to South Africa in 2 weeks for vacation and I was thinking maybe I'm just excited about that and my emotions are going haywire. I'm sorry that you are feeling anxious really I am and I hope the meetings can help you out.

sorry if i made this alittle about me, it still amazes me how much alike we all are.

good luck to you

Same thing that brought me back, MY recovery, only my AD is still going about her merry way if not more so than before, and I've found myself falling.

It's nice to hear your AD is doing well and even nicer to know so are you.

Meetings and readings and coming here keep me balanced. I've made some good friends in my home group so it feels like a night out with friends. I've found I use the tools in all aspects of my life...for me it takes daily use to keep things sharp. I definitely like the more balanced and relaxed me much better than the controling worrywart,lol.

So glad your daughter is doing welll and that you care enough about yourself to remember to get the focus back on you. Very happy to see you!

Glad your daughter is doing well jeepgirl~~~It seems that when they get better we still worry about when the next shoe is going to drop....Do you think its all about trusting?? I do. So relax and enjoy each day for what it is. Smiles, Bonnie
