THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! :ghug3

I'm thankful for SR. Had it not been for this place I don't think I could have gone as long as I did without a drink. During the times I needed someone, you guys were there for me with a shoulder to lean on. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. This is a place full of strength and hope, something that is vital in order to succeed in this journey.

Yesterday I didn't feel like today would be special. But it turned out to be a wonderful day! I went to my meeting this morning and had 2 revelations that I feel will be a huge part in me continuing to work on my recovery. I was able to stay sober for 11 months without attending AA, but my emotional state continued to suffer. Now I'm attending AA meetings and I hate to sound cliche' but I feel it changing me already. I got myself a sponsor today and feel a lightness to my soul I haven't felt in a long time.

I've learned alot this year and I'm continuing to learn things everyday. I don't have to have it all figured out right now and that's okay. It will all happen in God's time and I have to learn to trust that =)

Love you all and thanks again from the bottom of my heart~
