Hi Sherbear
Come on back!

Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. Unfortunately I wasn't ready then either. I have 15 days now. It took pnuemonia to stop me. I almost died out there and am very grateful that God has given me another chance. I am currently looking for a new sponsor. I have 2 women in mind. I have been going to meetings and now that I'm back home with my parents, I will be coming here again. I missed SR. I love it here. May God bless all of us with another day of sobriety.

I'm glad that you are back Sherry. It never gets any better out there. I almost died out there the last go round too so I know the pain. 15 days is a great start.
Welcome home.

((((Sherry)))))))

15 days is a good start, Sherry. Hold on to your faith, my friend. That and working the program and your family in recovery can do for you what you could not do for yourself.

Glad you're back. We've missed you.

Hugs,

Welcome back Sherry. I'm glad you made it back. It's tough out there. Stick around, get strong and get well. You deserve a better way of life.

Thanks Angel! There were definately angels watching over me this time. It didn't get as bad as it could have, but it did get bad enough. I'm glad that I have a foundation in AA. I'm glad that I listened and did get involved back when I managed to put together 9 months. Even though I was using, AA still played in my head. I would hear things such as; a belly full of booze and a head full of aa don't mix. How very true. Boy did it **** me off while I was getting high, but it kept me in some sort of reality. I believe it's because I never completely let go of God. It's really good to be home, though. Enough research for me. I'll stay, they say it's easier!

Hi Sherry,
Your right, SR is great, congrats on the 15 days and glad your feeling better!
Sober is the only way to go...

sherbear5104

It's great to be back, and you are right Ash, SOBER is the only way to go

ASH

And you are right, there are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going, :cursebunn
so I guess I can stop looking for that eaiser way

We can just keep tellin' each other we are right all day long, as Martha would say, Its a good thing

TAKE CARE!

I had forgot all about the shortcuts not working. And there is no easier softer way. Geuss I have to do what those before me have done if I want to stay sober.

I'm off to my meeting. Thanks again for all the prayers and you will be seeing me around again.

Take care Sherry. We missed you. Now things can begin to feel right again now that you are back. It wasn't the same without you.

Welcome back Sherbear

sherbear5104

It's truly great to be back. I've missed you all so much. Thank you for all the warm welcome backs! I just got back from a meeting and thought I'd check in before I go to bed. It's nice to have hope again, and to feel deserving of this gift of sobriety.

Thanks sherbear, you give out hope to others as well

Thanks Kevin. The reading today in the daily reflections book was good. It talked about how we are supposed to carry the message to the still sick and suffering. I'm sure glad that the message was carried to me!

So glad you are back Sherbear. I was just thinking of you this weekend. I'm glad my HP listened when I asked to hear news from you.

And good for you for sticking with the meetings. I know what you mean about getting a foundation even before you are ready.
