New around here.
Hello everyone,
I kinda found this place by accident (or one of those coincident that isn't a coincident.) and am having a ball reading posts. My first experience with recovery was forced upon me at the age of 16 but thank God for liquor and drugs for finally bringing me to a jumping off point of a brand spanking new life.
I have been in and out of AA,NA, and CA for the last 16 years never able to completely give myself to this simple program until June of last year. Hell i was even in contact with a group of people that were all about the 12 steps and nothing more, but even they could not help me till i experienced what it truly meant to be convinced by the pertinent ideas in how it works. This is not the most "time" I have had before but it has been the most happiest time in my life. also can honestly say if I am ever to get loaded again then I cannot discredit the twelve steps or God but can discredit myself. That i truly know that the 9th and 10th step promises are real for me. So if this is all a delusion or I'm crazy then this is the best crazy ive ever been. Thanks all for being active members and allowing me to join you along the path.

Ironfire,
I can very much relate, I went through treatment in 1991 and did well for a while, 8 yrs, but then I relapsed and had been trying to get back on track ever since. Today I do feel relieved and free this time around, cuz I am working a strong program now.
welcome, we look forward to getting to know you better! Sheila

Feel odd
I always feel odd when somebody tells me good job. lol. I wish i could take the credit for my recovery but really the only credit i can take is ruining my life and everybody's that touched me. Really all the credit goes to my HP, who i call God. I use the name God because its short and simple. For all i know its name could be Flootergork. All i know is that the experience i had of the 12 steps changed my relationship with it and the world.
