Hi notsleeping
I've posted this on another thread, but as I said there music formed a big part of my recovery, positive inspiring songs at times when I was low helped me through.
Tenth Ave North - You Are More - YouTube
I actually played Healing Begins by Tenth Avenue North first thing and last thing day in the first months of my recovery, it reminded me of what I was trying to do, to get free and be healed of the torment drinking brought to me.
I found this song quite recently, it has helped many other people, you may find it of some help, you may not.
Stay strong

Here is a helpful hint for meetings and the book...Look for similiarities and not differences....Identify...Don't compare.

First of all the dinner i made was a big turkey,dressing,mashed potatoes....i have 4 kids plus a couple of their friends...so its cold in denver right now, thought it sounded good, and hey turkey is suppose to help you sleep.lol, you can see that worked. They all enjoyed it tho.
As far as "the big book" ironically a couple of years ago someone gave me one, my stubborn self never even took it out of the bag, so thanks for the reminder, i gotta get that out and bring it with me. Haha, maybe i should read some of it, maybe if i would have to begin with i wouldn't be sitting here right now! Thanks.

That's funny...I'm wishing you well notsleeping...And sending some prayers your way for willingness and openmindedness....The nice thing is you never have to be alone in this....I think you'll find that out when you go to that meeting....Use the support you have there and the support you have here and it will be so much easier....Work the program of AA and your life will change....That's a promise.
