This may sound silly to some, but sometimes my dogs are the Power Greater than Myself. THeir love and devotion to me is unconditional and overwhelming and has much to do with keeping my life centered and sober. I want to deserve their love, and to do that I must be sober to be the best Dog Mom I can be.

And in being sober for them, I am being sober for myself cause they are such a huge part of me, of my life. So they are a Great Power to me and help to keep me sober.

Maybe we are all nuts, lol. Yes! As for a power greater than ourselves, well I am going to a meeting but lets not turn this into an AA thread, lol.

Hi Nands, not talking about cleaning. Yes, even though I have been here many times I have to believe it is possible that I am really done this time, otherwise I might just as well give in and drink to die.
Another good cliche is, I have a diease that tells me I am well, as soon as I get past all the trauma I think I am fine, well I am not.

Hey Least, whatever works.

IO Storm

And look after yourself x

Love ya, Stoney!:ghug3

stone

Aww, thanks guys. How nice.

Porty, all I know right now is I need people, I have been in and out of AA for nearly 2 years now so meetings are not new to me, I enjoyed it. It was my old home group and a good meeting.

allport

I know you have been before Stone and I can really relate to the need to have face to face support.

I was interested to see how you felt about returning, I recently went back to a few meetings and I didn't feel that welcome.

It is difficult around here because there is one meeting a day and the same people tend to be at each so if you don't like one there isn't another to take its place.

I'm glad you enjoyed it though

nelco

Good to hear you had a good meeting stone at your old home group. hope you meet with good strong members and get some numbers, so the next time you feel down you can use one. I hope your starting to feel better.

stone

I felt welcome, Porty. People don't exactly roll out a red carpet though, they have seen it all before. It is sad that you didn't feel welcomed back, how long had you been around? It takes ages to make friends, for me anyway.

Hi Nelcs, I have numbers already, I just never used them when I needed to. There are only a few people I would feel comfortable ringing anyway, but I do have them.

And yes, I am starting to feel better.

allport

I had been a member for nearly 2 years lol

I dont make friends easily, can you tell.

nelco

me too!! lol

stone

I am the same, tonight I "knew" almost everyone there but only a few there are close to being friends.

I would have expected people to make you feel welcome at least though! Are they all dour Yorkshire people, lol?

allport

No they are just hardcore aa and I have had words with a few lol

This was before I stopped arguing and became all nice

stone

Are you gonna keep going?



What is up with SR lately, keeps timing out and disappearing?

allport

What being nice or being sober lol

Hopefully both
