Getting back into AA
I went to my home group meeting last night after about a month of being absent... it was nice! As many of you know, I have not been feeling so great emotionally and have been really tempted to drink. Just going back helps a lot with that already. I also told my sponsor that I am finishing my first step (which I started like two months ago and then let it taper off), and we are meeting on Monday evening. I feel really good being back in the program. It is nice to have friends there too.
In other news, today was my boyfriend's DWI trial, and the cops didn't show up. They have one more chance and the trial was re-scheduled until April. I hope everything works out for him and it also seems like he has learned from it and is changing, so, that's good. I prayed this morning, even though I don't believe in God, but just left it up to Fate/the Universe and hoped hard that he would not be severely punished but that he will also learn from it. At the meeting last night a girl was talking about being grateful and praying that God will get her through the day... that helps a lot. I am grateful I haven't had a drink in over 4 months and that my boyfriend has received some mercy so far and grateful for SR and AA. Thanks everyone.
Best wishes to you all.

Hey Pig.....nice to have you back!
I've stalled out plenty myself....always paid a price for it too. Recognize it, make the necessary adjustments, try to learn something from it (so you don't do it in that area / because of "those" reasons again), then onward and upward - don't live in the past.

Hi Pigtails,
Glad you are getting the support of AA to help you stay stopped. I believe my HP removed my obsession to drink after 6 months. The word God does not sit comfortably with me or even prayer. They are only words but ....I prefer communing with my HP.
