One month today
I've been in and out of the program for several years; however, I have never in my life actually worked the program with such hunger and fervor. I have never given myself wholly to my Higher Power until now. I got out of rehab on May 2nd and have made a meeting (sometimes two) every day since then. I feel like I am a baby coming into a new world who knows nothing and find myself with no answers of my own. I also have a healthy fear of going out into the real world so green. I am simply using the tools that are being given to me and doing what I am told by my sponsor as well as taking the advice of recovering alcoholics in my home group who seem to know my story without even having heard it.
I need all the support I can get at this point as the only alcoholics I allow myself to be subject to at this point are the ones in my home group. My friends outside the group are all non-alcoholics and talking with them helps, but they have to real way of truly understanding what I am going through. My sponsor turned me on to this site and I hope to gain more friends through here that I can share with and have as a support system.
I'll stop rambling now....I have to go shower and get ready to go to the noon meeting. I am excited to be picking up my one month chip. It has been the most interesting, frightening, wonderful hope filled month I have ever experienced....it was also very long. lol.
Thanks for listening to the ramblings of a madwoman. I hope to hear from you soon.

Christina there is a lot of good support here, if you keep doing what you are doing right now you should do well, what you are doing is what I did to end a 40 year drinking career.
Congrats on one month!!! Keep in mind that it works if you work it, half measures availed us nothing.
