TOPIC: Why Do We Miss Our Fellow Recovery Friends So Much?
 

Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

A grateful alcoholic till death do I
part.

I havent had a drink of alcohol since
August 11, 1990. That's a number
of one days at a time collected together
to get me to where I am today.

Thru help and guidance from Above,
family and fellowship of wonderful
caring people here in SR and the
12 steps and principles to live my
life sober one day at a time to live
happy joyous and free.


I havent been on SR too much lately
and thought id pop in to let my SR
family know that I am doing ok and
waiting as patiantly as possible for
June 17th to arrive and have my
new hip put in.

Right now i can still get around, drive
and do light shopping. It wears me out
quickly to walk from one end of
Walmart to the other.....lol


I do exercises in the pool to keep
muscles limber and flexable,,,,,,
I also have to watch what im eating
because with less physical acitivity
i can easily gain weight. oh boy..!


So why do we miss each other so
much when were away from SR?

For me I miss the kind thoughtful
words of encouragement to brighten
each new day that im sober.

Thanks for being here for me my SR
Family...!

I know I can always come here as I am and be welcomed with open arms.
Its like coming home.
It is my life line to hope and determination.
I am reminded every time I come here why I want and need to be clean.
And I am also reminded that i am not alone and I never have to be.
There are people just like me.
