Welcome to our Newest Members -




Here are some helpful tips to I found to help you have a clean and sober July 4th.

Plan your parties. You don’t need to attend each party you’re invited to, so pick the ones you feel you’ll be most supported at as a sober person. Typically this also means going to the party with someone you trust.Someone who knows your goal is to remain clean and sober. Be accountable.

Prepare yourself mentally. Play the day and night through in your mind. Don’t obsess about it, but think about what you’ll say when someone offers you a drink or drug.

Be sure to practice the word, ‘No.’ It seems basic, but sometimes as newly clean and sober people we feel we need to tell people we are in recovery. It isn’t necessary, especially when all you have to say is, “no, thank you.” If a person is persistent, which sometimes happens, walk away; you not drinking is an issue they need to deal with.

Work to spend some time with close friends and family who are supportive of you in recovery. Sometimes we have family members who are clean and sober as well. Track them down and spend time with them. Ask for support!

Having an exit strategy is helpful as well. Drive your own car, or go with someone who would be willing to go at a moment’s notice. Also, be sure when you park your car, you are parking it away from other vehicles. You don’t want to be boxed in and unable to leave.

Finding a new tradition to celebrate the holidays is always a great way to remove yourself from old habits.

Avoiding H.A.L.T. is first and foremost on days like this. H = Hungry, A = Angry, L = Lonely, T = Tired. So, if you hungry, eat. If you are angry, talk to someone about it. If you are experiencing loneliness, call a sober friend or go to a meeting. If you are tired, then take a nap or work to get a good night’s sleep.

Live for today. Just take it easy and enjoy the day as it is. Think about just not drinking/drugging this day, and when tomorrow comes you will feel so happy and relieved that you have nothing to feel bad about. I promise.

Remember it is just another 24 Hours.

If I missed u my apologies, please send me a pm with corrections. If you are struggling do not give up, please just get honest and start again. honesty is important to a successful recovery. God Bless Everyone!

Why Not You?


Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration.
Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them.
Why not you?

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind
and seize the immeasurable power of today.
Why not you?

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking
at the blessings of the present.
Why not you?

Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be
lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment.
Why not you?

Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact
with their powerful innate strength.
Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a
positive role model for their children.
Why not you?

Today, many will choose to free themselves from the
personal imprisonment of their
bad habits.
Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and
rules governing their own happiness.
Why not you?

Today, many will find abundance in simplicity.
Why not you?

Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they
will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial.
Why not you?

Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a
victim mentality,
but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes.
Why not you?

Today, many will take the action necessary to
make a difference.
Why not you?

Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother,
father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother,
sister, & so much more.
Why not you?

Today is a new day!Many will seize this day. Many will live it to the fullest.
Why not you?
