Aw, Seanie, absolutely you can use my quote. I'm so happy you have a good relationship with Jesus!! I would not be where I am without Him.
I am so proud of you on going to a meeting! I know how scary it must be, but it will help you.
I am proud of you & Nel for not giving up. We are all in this fight together. And the battle will not end until we meet our maker.

Prayers for you both to find the serenity you soo deserve.

Love to all! :ghug3

End of the weekend is here and it's great to read updates from Seanie and Nel. You two will be such a help to the new January 2013 class. Glad you are both walking the walk (well, Nel, perhaps hobbling? Sorry your leg is giving you problems!) and working on silencing the beast. I know you both can and will succeed!

Not much to report - ready to get on with things - boredom is rampant but I am not complaining. Love to all, T

Just 7 days before PCL and my one year, I got an amazing, fabulous offer of employment (with benefits) and the most wonderful feeling of excitement and serenity. This would not, would not, would not have happened if I was still a drunk. I would still be a drunk if not for my SR family. That is an absolute given. My biological family is now mine again, and in the process I have regained my self respect and internal peace and happiness. Please know, Dee; PCL; FIAFI; Kat; Limbo; Nel; Billy; DD; Seanie - this journey we are on, though it has its ups and downs and slippery patches, is life saving and so worth the effort. Easy? Not even a little bit. Scary? Absolutely. Freeing? In more ways than I would have though possible. Thank you, dear friends. I am indebted and ready to continue and also ready to kick some culinary ass! Hey, you guys didn't think I could get through a whole message without a little levity, did ya?? Hugs, kisses, and immeasureable love to each of you!! Chef Tammi - blonde, left handed, and sober!!

Yes, please drop in on our group, newleaves! It's such early days and we're all struggling in different ways. Words of encouragement and your own story about gaining freedom would be great!

Hey class! Such amazing accomplishments and congrats in order all around :-) Big big congrats Tammi on not just your new job but new life, to all the one year celebrations...I feel I should keep track of all the dates but they are not my strong side so just a mega-congrats to you all who have reached it. I yearn for mine so I know what a big deal it is, 14 more days to go until mine :-)

What a difference a year makes ha!

Lovely lovely lovely to read the happy posts and what a blessing to be a part of this jan 2012 family!

Love L

Good for you Seanie! I really feel that Step 1 is what it's all about. Nothing was ever going to change for me until I really honestly knew in my heart that I was an alcohol. Once I realized that, there was no turning back.

Been doing good on staying sober but I thought this time I would try to quit smoking. I am going crazy the last few days!! I have even dreamt about it and I wasn't that heavy of a smoker...crazy..The first 5 days was great the last 3 just gnawing at me......I want a happy healthy free of addiction/alcohol life ....Peace & Love Nell.

Talking

DD, it's almost here! How stoked are you?

NBC, I'm so happy your world is falling into place

Seanie, keep up the good work man, you are doing awesome.

Nel, you are doing great. Maybe try to tackle one thing at a time, if it jeopardizes your sobriety. I had to decide that sobriety was my most important goal & I didn't want to compromise it, by being over stressed from nicotine withdrawal too. Your body's going through a lot. I couldn't do it, I had to wait but I did 4 months later.
Hang in there, you can do this.

Limbo, I think we all stopped by the Jan 2013 class to offer encouragement. I know I will try to drop in occasionally. To keep offering support.

Billy, how's the dating scene? Book coming along? Job prospects?

Kat & FaceIt, how does it feel to pass the 1 yr.? I had this fear that once it came & went, the Beast would spark up his rhetoric ? Not that, I'm not prepared.

Me, non blonde, left handed, non practicing alcoholic am doing fabulous.
I feel like I've hit another realm higher of serenity & spirituality. Delving deeper in a more intimate relationship w/ my Lord & He's given me peace that surpasses all understanding that he promises in His word.
My heart is filled with love, forgiveness, acceptance which causes peace & serenity. I feel like my life is right where it ought to be. And my moods are balancing out finally. I'm getting so much accomplished. I feel like I've grown so much in such a short time.

I would have NEVER thought a yr ago, I would be here & be this blessed.
Thanks to my awesome crew. I would not be here without you all & Dee.

I wish I could hug you all for real, but ...
