Hi nice people,

Woke up sober . Had my coffee reading my board. Getting in shower then meeting at 1pm

I may go to a commitment tonight at a detox facility. That is at 630p

Had a nice healthy cup of soup then went back and filled the cup with potato chips. I am still hungry. It may be the new SSRI I am on

Tomorrow meetings from 830a beginners then speaker meeting ends at 10A ex is going to pick me up after and go for lunch which will be nice.
Simple lunch- he is not aware I lost my job yet.

Hope everyone is doing ok today- Saturdays can be very hard.
I got on my knees this morning and asked for the obsession/desire to be removed. It seems to be working so far. After the meeting I will feel so much better and inspired.

Be good to yourself today. Nurture, self care, self respect and a Sober Saturday- I love waking up on Sunday rested and content

Good plans Beth!! What is involved going to detox? I pretty much connect and refer that to people still drinking, so I'm super curious.
Take care of yourself and touch back with us later!

Faith -

You're certainly doing a great job.

I cast my lots with AA as a fairly young man and I have been sober ever since.

I still work the program on a daily basis and go to meetings.

Please keep up the great work and also keep us posted as to your progress.

You are doing a great job! I remember very high days and very low days in the beginning of my journey. I just knew that they were only temporary and tomorrow is a whole new day! Best wishes for you on your journey!

Hello,

August the detox will be considered a commitment. The collective AA group that meets tomorrow has a commitment tonight.
Whomever from that group that wants to show up will travel "together"
to the detox facility and speak at their meeting tonight.
It is highly recommended since you bond with the group in the car/ride. The commitment will also speak at another AA meeting in another town then that AA meeting will speak return the favor and come visit their meeting with speakers. I hope I am explaining this correctly.
I have only been on a few in the past. I never have been qualified to speak. 90 days to speak. I think going to a detox tonight will remind me why I never want to drink again. I have been in detox twice and I have always been very grateful for a group to come in and speak.

Thank you guys for all the support. I really appreciate it. I feel like I have been posting to much lately but it is keeping me sober. I love giving support to others it helps me stay sober.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and stories. I also pledge if I get to that place in my mind that drinking sounds good I will post here.
I have never done that before- I crossed that line in my mind without asking for help.

Its only been 15 days feels like 15 years- because I am doing the soul searching and being honest. It is quality sober time thanks to you!

Thank you- AA has really been working for me this LAST time coming back. The honesty, love and determination/loyalty is just becoming my life line. I love learning about people and hearing their experience/strength and hope. I use to love learning about people with my pint of vodka on the park bench in Copley SQ- all dressed up in my work clothes- again classy- Learning about AA people is just as interesting if not more- And a LOT more inspiring.

Thank you so much for the support and congrats on your sobriety.

Thank you Jaz- and thanks for encouraging me to post.

I read your post's as well and they are very inspiring and honest

I may not sound as intellectual as I like. Most I can do is speak from the heart.

I look forward to following your recovery journey- thank you again
