Grateful to wake up with a clear head

Grateful for the beautiful text msg my home group Secretary sent me last night to wish me a happy new year. I'd told him he's like my "AA Dad" some time ago & the msg was one that appeared to be sent to his biological daughters! Very kind of him

Grateful for the beautiful weather, family, friends & the new boyfriend!

Grateful for AA as always-the more I'm involved, the more I need it

Understood. Sorry that happened to you. I got a lot of learning left to do myself; we all do. Thats what life is about. One thing I do get now tho is that I have no control over alcohol and I have made the decision to never drink it again. With AA and my recovery tools I'm gonna do my very best to stay sober. My life depends on it and i am putting 125% into my recovery program. I know my disease is still there waiting for me to mess up. Maybe a better use of words would be that I've learned more and picked up a recovery program that I think will help me stay sober with my hard honest effort with myself and God. You take care of yourself BA and best if luck to u. Ill pray for ya.

GRATEFUL THIS POSTS FROM LAST NEW YEARS IS SOOOO FAR BEHIND but grateful to look back on it and remember how bad it can be....my post Jan 1 2012 .....this gives me so many emotions!! I have come so far. So thank you SR. You played a HUGE part in my strength today

""""Happy New Year Everyone!! I have been a lurker on this site for some time now. I think it is a great tool and something that can help me in my recovery. I just moved to a new area for work and feel myself slipping back into my old ways. It scares me. DOC alcohol. Been drinking every night for the past 7 years. Recently things changed though and i reached that FED UP point. I got sober with AA by my side for over 25 days. I felt the best I ever have! Anyway, like a fool I thought I could go back to a couple drinks a night, of course it lasted a small amount of time, then I was back to a bottle or a bottle and a half of wine a night. This isnt a new Years resolution of any sort I am just back at that fed up point and want to get back in control of my life!!! Anyway, like I said I just moved to a new area for work and am wanting to ditch the booze for good and get back to life and being in control. Because right now I am LOST!!!! Just looking for some support and figured through the kind people and words I see here I came to the right place."""""

HAPPPPPYYYY SOBER NEW YEAR - 2013 here we come ready to go. I am grateful for 2012 and all I was put through to be where I am today.

Grateful to start a new year feeling like the best person I have been in a long time and striving to be ever better every day for me, God and my fellow mankind.

Grateful for the morning posts on SR from newbie1961 and Inda that make my mornings with God more special!!!!

Thank you Pondlady for the kind words and reading

I see then I wanted "control" over drinking...who the heck was I kidding?? MYSELF that's who! I was definiatly faking myself out believing that would make things "better". The only control I have is to NOT DRINK AT ALL nowaday and forever! HUGS!

Thanks Fandy - Means a lot and believe me you and others here played a large part in my success thus far. (I love olives)

Grateful both my issues on NYE worked out well and I have started 2013 with a clear head not a hangover.

Grateful for everyone at SR who have played a roll in my great start to 2013. THANK YOU!
