do I have to revoke my membership if I've been drinking?
GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi my friend!!! How are you doing today? Are you feeling better than yesterday? I do hope so but if you're not just keep hanging on. Please be good to yourself and know that I'm pulling for you.
See? You have your own personal cheerleader....
Hope you have a good day and I'll see ya after school.

Least my heart goes out to you, I pray that you are willing to do the next thing you have not done yet to stay sober.
In regards to you having your membership revoked here, well we do not shoot our wounded in AA, why in the world would we shoot you here??
Hon we love you, you are one of us and what you are going through right now could happen to any of us.
Look at everything you were doing to stay sober before this relapse and write it down.
Now write down on another sheet of paper every thing you so far have been unwilling to do to stay sober that other people do that do stay sober.
Okay, now I think we can both agree that doing the same thing over and over again usually results in the same thing over and over again right?
If we agree on that then take that peice of paper with the things you have been unwilling to do to stay sober and take one thing off of that list and add it to the ones you were doing before.
I know in order for me to stay sober I had to be willing to do what ever it took to stay sober. A lot of those things I really did not want to do at first, but once I became willing to do them and did them I stayed sober and saw the value in doing them.

Thank you very much. The one thing I've started doing that I wasn't doing much before is going to meetings. The shame I feel is overwhelming and I deserve every bit of it. Even my dogs seem disappointed in me. I know I"m certainly disappointed in myself. I let myself down and screwed myself up. I'm trying not to hate myself but it's hard to accept myself and my actions.
Just for today I will not drink. I want to get back to my sober life. I never want to put myself thru this hell again.

Least, when I feel like I messed up and God may not want to hear from me, this prayer always helps and comforts me....
Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the LORD. Across
the sky flashed scenes of his life. For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one
belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
He looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also
noticed that it happened at the very lowest and
saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the
LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I
decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the
way. But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set
of footprints; I don't understand why when I
needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you. During
your times of trial and suffering, when you see
only one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you."

That's always been one of my biggest problems: not being able to believe in myself or love myself. I always feel "less than" and "not good enough". It's hard for me to believe God loves me with all my faults.
Come on now, S! Sit down and read the Book that you took your screen name from!!!! He is all over it, telling how He loves us all, inspite of ourselves!! If He was only in the business of loving the "good" ones, He would be very lonely indeed!!!!! Love, Jomey
