Trying this again Hello everyone, I am not technically a new member, as I was first here in 2010, but I am trying again. I am 7 days sober, and fully embracing the AA program. Although I am not going to meetings, I am reading the Big Book and Twelve Steps. Step 1: We have admitted that we are powerless over alcohol - that our lives have become unmanageable. Done 9/22/13 |
Hi Heart, it is very freeing to accept that you cannot drink. No more daily struggles with will I/won't I. I realized I could have alcohol or everything else in life. Very best wishes to you Heart. |
Welcome (back) to SR :) |
:welcome back! Congrats on your sober week.:) |
Welcome back InsaneHeart, congrats on 7 days sober. Glad you are here. |
Thank you all so much! I feel great. |

A week is awesome and you know it. Keep it up xx |
8 days sober. I got halfway through the Big Book last night! I feel really good. |
Day 9, and still going strong! No urges at all so far, even with a stressful day of work today :bbj: I feel sooooo good! |

Glad to see you back InsaneHeart. Congratulations on your 10 days. It's a great feeling when we no longer fall back on drinking to help us cope. It really doesn't do a thing for us but create more anxiety. It took me so long to get that! Happy you are feeling good. |
Thank you all for the encouragement! |
congrat,s...........:You_Rock_ |
yes,go you, insane heart, Welcome back. I am an AA member that hardly makes meetings but I believe the program works SR and AA are both important in my recovery. It's great you got through a bad day at work without picking up. Good for you Love Caihong |
So emotionally drained right now. I'm really having a hard time dealing with people that I care about leaving me...again. So tired of it. With that said, I do not crave a drink and I'm on Day 13. Going strong, even if my mind is weak at the moment. |
One of my friends said that once she started the steps, she never felt alone. You're doing awesome. Just keep going. |

I actually just ordered the Life Recovery Bible and Workbook, which goes through the steps with a Christian point of view. I can't wait to get started on it. I wish it was here already, I'd be spending the weekend working on it. I'll just have to keep reading the big book until it arrives (Tuesday!). |
