Thanks for the kind interest.... I think the slump is incremental and exacerbated by not going to meetings. 1: I retired from really social, frantic job (head of boarding in a girls school!!) 2: struck down with viral labyrinthitis !! 3: the damn dog had the nerve to die in the middle of all this 4: my brother called from Canada in the middle of a terrible crisis. The crisis escalated. Anyway: spirtual meltdown. Redoing steps with a lot of meditation but that damn step #2.
Good to hear from you.

Welcome. 7 years of sobriety is brilliant. I am sorry you are going through a spiritual meltdown. I am praying that things get better for you.
This just reminds me that no matter how much sobriety you have under your belt, the beast still lives within even though it may lay dormant for years and I thank you for that reminder.

Welcome Skortha, wow you can tell us so many things about how to get and stay sober, seven years seems so far away to me at 5.5 months. You are doing the right thing looking for support rather than just giving into temptation, there is plenty of that here!

To Toots
Is that beauty Toots in the picture?? What a joy. You are blessed.
Yes, seven years sober and yet the beast bites back but as my sponser pointedly said : stop trying to fly solo! Ego ego ego.....
Seven years, seven months or seven days we are all damn brave. So on we go.......................

chair fear!
Actually today I left the meeting after the chair. It was relentless in a blow by blow descripton of how to REALLY work the program and the steps.....and how to approach step #2.....and I thought o my god I cannot measure up to this at the moment what am I doing wrong. I felt inauthentic and it was not nice.....I have been dwelling on this all day.... I know I know
