Hi Lurox...I'm really glad you have found us! We've all been were you are right now, and know that it's really hard. But you can get through it! The crazy feelings start to fade away as time goes by, and you'll feel better and better. Just keep asking for help.

Hi longbeachone,

Oh Thank you so much. I am glad i found you guys too. Anyway, I actually had a dream this morning that i had a drink back in PNG. I was so scared, when i opened my eyes the first thing i said was, no... I failed. And my girlfriend said to me, are you alright?? and i said, what did i say?? And she said, you said you failed.. Oh yeah and i started telling her my dream. And she said to me, you'll be fine don't worry you've got be strong. Thank god it wasn't true i would've been so upset if i did.. Anyway Thanks again.

Hiya Lurox Drinking dreams are very common in early sobriety , so don't be alarmed

You are doing really well .

Congratulations on your commitment xx

I spoke with AA World Services in New York. The two suggestions I got were for you to participate in on line meetings and to get as much literature as possible in order to help you to begin a group there. This has already been suggested in this discussion.

I have been trying to contact the world services in Australia but without success. I hope that they will have more information and resources.

If you are having a difficult time getting literature let me know and I will try to help you out. I have also sent you email. I am unable to send a private message to you through this site. You may wish to change your settings to allow this.

This site also has a chat room (see the blue bar above on this page). This site can be a great resource also.

Keep us informed.

Thanks. Hmmmm,,, did anyone Ever get really sick when they first quite drinking?? I mean really sick...

Lurox

Hi 22NGONE,

Thanks so much.

Yes i am still going through my Big Book.
Happy that i found you all. I was so worried about what to do when i get back to PNG. Cause all my friends and families are all alcoholics and i didn't know what to do the next step. I thought if i am not strong, i am scared to touch alcoholic again in my life. But Thank god i found yous. I am very happy. This program is making me so busy..

Thanks once again SnoozQ.

You're amongst friends here, Lurox. The things I learned on SR and support received was the difference maker for me.

Lurox, I am an expat in POM and had assumed that the Galley AA meeting was active before I arrived. After arriving, found that the Galley is now a bar (Aviat) and has been for 6 years and there are no other meetings to be found.
Surprising in a city this large, but I have searched.
Let me know if you are back in POM and need support.
And if anyone else out there knows of a Port Moresby meeting, sounds like there are 2 of us looking. Thanks
