AM I a newcomer or what?

I have been trying to get sober for 20 years..Been to AA--Treatment---so am I a newcomer or what..........I am sober after pure hell this past year and Im happy--I have always felt people with a support group will usually make it .I loved AA but after so many relapses I didnt feel welcome anymore. So now I have a support group--a chuch who welcomes drunks--druggies and it is a nice church..There is a little more to the story...but I'm happy and content cause I really know these people care.............or whatever the reason......IT JUST TAKES WHAT IT TAKES --I really feel for all you ones that are hurting...that is the story of my life..Trying to quit and not being able too....Also I loved this site and all the support here. You ones that were here last year--THANK YOU---and where are you Dee. IT TAKES WHAT IT TAKES AND I TOOK AND TAKE A LITTLE FROM THIS SITE EVERYTIME I COME ON....................

LOL hi Wezzy

I don't think it matters what you call yourself - as long as you get it, you know ?

I'm never gonna be an old timer I reckon - I hope to be always learnin'...I'm always happy to be known as a newbie and hang out in this forum...

Hi Wezzy,

Welcome back!

I'm so glad you're continuing to try to get sober.

The church group sounds great and I hope you keep posting.

Glad Your Back!

It took me many, many trys, years and tears but by George! I think I got it! I guess I was just making it too darn complicated. Stay clean, get honest, find a HP and surrender. I imagine I'm gonna get some flack for that, but you know what? It works for me! I'm Happy, Joyous & Free, going on three years now!

Your Church sounds like an incredible support system for you. Glad you found what you were looking for and what works for you.

God Bless,
Judy

wessy55 it was told to me that the reason
I kept coming in and out of the meeting rooms of recovery
was that I wasn't really sick, and tire, and that I had to hit a Bottom
go through some more Pain I guess

well here is my Question? are you Sick and Tire of Been Sick and Tire
of the chaos, and misery, this disease gives

don't get me wrong I'm just charing my experience of strength,
and Hope, and I respect the fact that you are finding that support
in a church, Because it's funny I didn't they didn't understand
me, or were I was coming from, or nevertheless this Disease,
I found it today making my first meeting, after been in and out of relapses for 6 years of my life

God Bless you on your journey
