Class Of January 2016 Support Thread part 13
Hi Jannies & Dee,
Since most of you check in on the 24-hr. thread I rarely visit our class thread.
Two years ago this month I was drowning. Our class and SR saved my life. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! And for those who no longer check in but may read this....you know who you are. Thank you.
Love to all!

Bandi and Delilah you’re both such an amazing inspiration!! (And Dee of course)
Hopefully everyone will eventually return to SR again and let us know how they’re doing.. xx
Your first words of "I was fairly certain I could stop pouring alcohol down my throat" encouraged me enough to keep at it. Once I stopped pouring alcohol down my throat and got through the physical addiction I could begin working on the 'Whys' and the 'Isms' I still work at it almost every day and SR is a huge part of my recovery.
Wishing everyone a blessed and sober Christmas and New Year.
Just wanted to say Happy New Year and congratulations Bandi and Delilah! I am so proud of both of you and so honored to know you both and be on this journey with you. I hope you have an amazing day filled with love, smiles, pride and maybe some celebratory treats- you deserve the world in your hands for what you have accomplished! Love you both!
Congratulations on 2 years of sobriety, Delilah and Bandi! You have both been so inspirational and supportive. Thank you so so much for your understanding and wonderful advice.
Happy New Year to my fellow Jannies. I wish you all a wonderful year.
I’m doing well. I made it through holiday celebrations no problem. I sipped on fancy mineral water and non-alcoholic “champagne”. I’m still surprised how little most people drink. My mineral water was the biggest hit at the party!!
Have a great year Jannies. 😃

Hello Jannies,
Happy New Year!!
Just checking in to send lots of love to all of you. I was reflecting on how important this group was to me finally achieving sobriety. I had bounced between a few classes, but with the support of each of you I was able to hit the two year mark, and I am now continuing in my third year with an incredible support system. Each and every one of you in this class helped me get where I am today.
I love seeing several of you in our 24 hour thread, and I miss those who no longercheck in. I hope you are sober, and doing fantastic in life.
Dee, you are an honorary member of every thread, and are such an integral part of my journey, and I know the journey of thousands of others, and that is pretty amazing.
Thank you Jannies, I love you all!!!!
❤️Delilah

Life is better sober. At times it's not easy, but it's definitely better.
Love you dear friend!
Good morning SR world

What do we need most in order to be happy? Certainly we all need to be loved. Yet we need even more than that. The spirit also wishes to be needed. When we are needed, no matter what age we are, we serve a purpose for others. When we are needed, we will be loved, as well as respected, imitated, and rewarded with gratitude. Our needs are not great empty pits to be filled any way we can. They are the couplings by which we connect to those we love. Our needs also tell us what others want, and how to enrich their lives--which also enriches ours. How do we become needed? We have only to look at our own needs and give what we need to others--love, respect, kindness, and generosity. When we realize we are needed, we realize we also need others.
What do I need that I can give to another person today?

Hello my dear Jannies- how is life treating you these days?
I am doing well and excited about approaching my 11 month mark in April. I really can't believe sometimes how many years I wasted on drugs and alcohol- especially now that I see how easy it is just to live a sober life. Don't get me wrong, the first 6 months sucked bigtime but at this point the thought of drinking doesn't even cross my mind. I am not tempted by any stretch of the imagination. Drinking just doesn't align with who I am as a person anymore.
Anyway, I was hoping to see an update but I know you guys use the 24 hour thread too. I wanted to send my love here and let you all know I was thinking of you...

Hi guys, I thought I’d come back and post in here, great to see a recent post Sunny xx well done on 11 months, everyone is going so well.
I’m struggling today...not with drinking, just with life. I thought I was coping alright but I’ve not slept a wink and thought I was having a heart attack (anxiety).. I just want this **** to be over with.. maybe it’s just hit me but hopefully I’m just feeling lousy because I’ve had so little sleep
Anyway didn’t want to come on to moan ..
Sending love to all.. wonder how the rest of our class is doing?

Please don't ever feeling like you are moaning.
I hope you can find a way to get some rest. Maybe even some herbal tea made for sleep will help relax you a bit.
Thinking of you as always...
Hi sweet Nic. I know this is a difficult time for you- I wish I could help you somehow. Are you just waiting on results at this point and if so when do you expect them?
Please don't ever feeling like you are moaning.

I’ll try getting an early night and bounce back hopefully x
This wait period before a treatment protocol must be incredibly stressful and of course you're struggling. Who wouldn't?
The positive in all of this is that you listened to your body and caught it early. By getting and staying sober, You've given yourself the best possible chance to fight this.
We're with you every step of the way and I know each of us wish we could be there in person as well.
I’m ok thanks for checking Dee . it’s just been a tough few weeks..I’m sure I’ll have another few meltdowns but for now I’m trying to stay positive.. A lot of what I’ve read says that patients do better when they have a good attitude so that’s my own mission for now- can’t control much else!
How are you Dee?
