HUGE SMILE!!!

That's great to hear!!

Taking that next-right-step........especially when it's not something we necessarily want to do but something we know deep down we need to do almost always works out well for me.

Things like that are where faith starts to build upon. Don't forget, you were afraid, didn't wanna go....but you took the action and things worked out fine........better than fine, actually.

I'm proud of you and soooo glad you shared your experience.

I think it's kind of cool you ran into two people you knew from '06...The one going strong probably jumped in to AA right after rehab and the one coming back is probably ready to...Go get em FRH...

I sure hope so. I'm willing to be open to the possibilities through AA now. That's certainly can't hurt.

Nicely done FRH!

When we've had enough and we're ready to listen and act on suggestions it's common we suddenly find the AAs aren't so very bad after all.

FRH, I was at a point where I was willing to do ANYTHING and I did, AA being a big part.

Sounds like you've turned a great corner - I remember that feeling of hope....grab on to it.

Hi FRH! Your so going about this the right way. Sounds like you have surrendered. Sharing at meetings and talking with the others is definitely what helps me most. I'm glad you declared that you want happiness as well! To quit drinking is not enough. We can be happy too if we work for it. We were just talking about emotional sobriety last night in a meeting!

Best of luck and please keep us posted
