I do needlepoint while sitting in AA meetings. It is the only place I do it.

I sing to my dogs... And they dont even howl.

HeavyJ 06-27-2008 07:33 AM

I take pictures, grow two children, ride my bike and spend a lot of time staying sober and communicating with my SR friends...

I love to walk and hike. Books and music are my passion. I have two grown & married kids and three Siamese cats.

I just stay home..Thats a task in its self.
But when I am here I spend lots of time with my little cousins.
There are 4 of them...1..3..5..and 6.
They teach me more and more everyday.

What I would like to do is ride a beach cruiser and play volleyball.
No bike...noone to play a good game of volley with.

I read a lot, play tennis and like to ski out west. I have a partner of 9 years, three dogs, and three cats..

I just love classic cars, good movies and the out doors. I have a boxer and three birds and two lizards which are bearded dragons. Crickets are still a pain but it sounds like summer all year long at my house. :Dance7:

Great thread, K.

I love to read, to walk in nature, connect with other recovering friends, and to hang out with my daughter and two dogs.

OOH...that 3rd one is cool. Ever hear of Steampunk? That's what that makes me think of!

I'm Angie...35 yrs old...into punk/indie music (and pretty much everything else...), like to spin poi (no fire yet, though), love animals (although my puppy is testing my patience lately...at 13 months he's Mr. Destructo...grrr) and have 2 dogs, 4 cats...married. Sober for 2 months now after being sober for 3.5 yrs. Trying to do a better job at being good to ME!!!

Hi,

I love to run, 3 to 5 miles a day. I collect, restore and shoot rifles from World War II. I also have a FABULOUS Greyhound named Cleopatra, she was rescued from a track in Florida!

Happily Alcoholically Yours,

John

You have a twin in Arizona tanya, he's got 35 years of sobriety and his nickname is Needlepoint Jim. He used to do needlepoint at AA meetings too!

My name is Scott and I'm a double winner, alcoholic and codependent. I love my recovery programs and stay active with service commitments.

My children and girlfriend are the stars of my life, we thoroughly enjoy every moment we get together.

For hobbies I like cooking, paintball, amateur astronomy, motorcycling, hiking, camping, fishing, exercising, and reading.

Life in recovery is nothing short of amazing, I owe it all to God and AA.

My name is Tom, I live in Sheffield, England.

I have a partner of 5 years and a little boy of 13 months. They are everything to me.

I am on day 5 of my detox on Librium and am suffering a little due to anxiety and depression.

I like watching football (soccer), cricket, playing snooker, fishing and have recently started swimming and gardening again.

I have signed up for AA UK and should get details from my councillor a week on Monday.

Astro 06-27-2008 10:01 AM

Welcome to SR, Tom! I'm glad you're seeking some help from AA.

least 06-27-2008 10:04 AM

I am a mother of four girls, unemployed at present, love my dogs, love walking my dogs, like to read and watch movies, hate television (and don't have tv reception), and am having a hard time dealing with the emotions I am feeling now that I'm not drinking.

I was worried about seeking their help as I am not great in group situations, due to the anxiety, but I find once I start talking I can't stop. The counselling will help, but the talking to other people in a similar situation will help more I feel.

My family are being incredibly supportive (a bit too much so at times). Who'd have thought I would have been in this situation at 26.

Toomutch 06-27-2008 10:28 AM

I wanted to add to mine... Because I do have more of a life than just singing to my dogs.

I enjoy family time- this time of year we sit out on the patio to eat our dinner. Once I started a watermelon fight- little pieces of watermelon were flying everywhere. Great fun- I highly recommend it

I love to hike, golf, read, shop and travel. I love being out in nature.
