50 days!
 

So, it's been a few weeks since I came on this site.

Last time I started a thread on here it was regarding the overwhelming feeling I got when I went to my second meeting. I was sure that I was not going to go to any more and that the best thing for me was to just try it on my own for a little longer.

Lo and behold, a day later I found myself at a women's meeting. Since then I have made a routine of 4 meetings a week (more if I have time), two of which are women's groups. I have a sponsor, I have a home group, and I have a commitment to chair my home group in January. This Saturday will be the first time that I meet with my sponsor to begin my step work, and as scary as that may seem, I am looking forward to it. For Thanksgiving I am going to my sponsor's brother's three-quarter-way house that he manages to cook up some food (haha we will see about that) and get to know some new sober people -- which I am looking forward to. I've really been trying to force myself to do things with other people from the fellowship and not seclude myself from the rest of the world or hide away in my room. Seems to be helping.

I've really been doing okay. I have my bad days where my thoughts take over and the little voices inside my head try to tell me how yummy a Sangria or pint of beer may taste, but it's okay and I don't beat myself up for those days -- as long as I don't pick up. 50 days sober now, and doing my best.

So yeah, happy news. :c011:

That is wonderful to hear! Great job :). 90 days....I'll be so happy to get there again.

Thanks! I am going to have to face my demons head on this Friday at my brother's engagement party -- but I know that I have the capabilities to stay strong. If anything I will just leave early, I'm sure he will understand. =)

That's awesome! You're doing absolutely EVERYTHING right :) Keep up the great work and have a good time on Thursday and Friday :)

Hi, Crispy!

Glad to hear that you are doing fine. Keep it up!

((krispy)) - Congratulations on 50 days!

Hugs and prayers,

112 days today. I have a sponsor, a home group, coffee commitment. Meetings everyday, probably about 125-135 so far. I go to all kind of meetings Big Book, Step, I have even picked up a "spritual advisor" as I am a Catholic and he is a Catholic Monk so he is helping me on getting back to my faith with my wife who is badly damaged from my alcoholism. The Steps are the key to getting "whole" again. I have begun writing a 4th and am working on some very difficult 5th step work with my "Spiritual Sponsor". One Day at a time!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy news indeed. Great hearing from you. Keep us posted.

That's so cool Krispy, well done! x

way to go Krispy - that's great progress :)
