Hi. My Name is......

[justanobserver]

*snuggles* for everyone. I hope your recovery programs are going well.

(((((((((( BIG TOE!!!! )))))))))))))))

Hey you!!

Its been a while since I seen hide or hair of you around here. how you be????

 

[BigToe]

I am ok. Was out of town for a few weeks just taking a break from things. And sometimes I don't really feel like I have anything great to say. I always hear people say that about going to AA meetings and I think how silly, you go for yourself. So it is odd that I feel like I can't just come in and wish you all well without having something deeper to say than that heh.

so *snuggles* anyway. how have you been Norm? I've missed you.

Big Toe, my dear silly friend - just saying HI is good enough and deep enough for me. Fancy words is all fine and good and being a great orator is cool BUT a simple Hi from someone who really cares means more than any wordy speach.

yer such a sweety!

Tis good to see you.

Hi, I'm Stephen, I'm not an alcoholic... but I do like it.

I have a 1.75 L jug o' smirnof 21 in my closet that I keep when I want to relax, but I must say I *have* abused it, but only about 3x.

I'm trying to be more religious and such, but I do still like having a drink from time to time.
I haven't drank in about a week, and I don't have the 'craving'... though i do still have a problem with occasionally resorting to drinking when I have a bad night rather than praying first.

Hi Stephen

Bing drinking can be a danger sign.Just be careful...
There's a saying in AA:

Alcohol didn't drown my problems,It irrigated them​

Just a Thought to keep in mind ​

Anywho

Hi Stephen. Welcome to the Recovery forum.

Are you concerned with your drinking or wondering if you might have a problem? Am trying to understand what it is your asking or saying or seeking.

No no, I'm concerned about my lust, but I thought I'd throw that in.

Hey there everybody. Hope all are well, and if not, you know where to get help and go there.

I'm sober 6 months and one week today. Somedays it's a struggle, somedays I don't even think about it. On the fourth of July I was able to hang out with friends who were drinking beer, and it didn't bother me. My husband is still the only person who knows that I'm an alcoholic. So, on the fourth, one of my friends called me a party pooper when I declined a beer. It really didn't bother me - kind of felt good even.

My husband says that I'm not as fun as I used to be when I drank though, and that does bother me. That might come from the fact that I can't let him drink in front of me when it's just the two of us. I get too jealous that I can't have any.

Overall I'm doing well. Hope you are too.

 

[Garnet2727]

Congratulations, kanga! I don't know why, but there's something special about that 6th month of sobriety. It's like a sign post that says, "Look..you made it this far...now you can make it the rest of the way."

Two more months for me and I'll be at one year.

hey Kanga!! 6 months (and a week) sober!!! this is great news to hear!!!

You keep hanging in there - your doing great. I commend you in keeping your sobriety amidst the trials you go thru and live thru. You are a testimony to others that wonder if they can make it.

I am so glad you posted. thank you for the good news!

GARNETT!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey you. hows it going? Its almost a year already? wow. time flies when your sober!

what would be so cool if this site somehow had sobriety chips like AA and NA hands out for periods of time clean/sober.

I gotta think about that - theres gotta be a way. it would be cool I think.

but its still so good to see you back posting here.

Norm

 

[Garnet2727]

[justanobserver]

Hi eley. thank you for the compliment in comparing me to your dad. he must be a great guy! I dont have any brothers but 2 sisters a few years younger than I.


Anyways, hey to all. gong to bed. got a lot of things on my mind. a lot of things to think about. as some know I am trying to get back into the military so i can lock in my retirement.

please keep this in your thoughts if and when you ever mention my name to Him. I want and need to go back in. It is my life, its the only world I ever felt at home or welcome in.

The next couple weeks will have some big ups or downs for me.

thanks!

just want to post a "hey" to all, wishing sobriety and growth in recovery to everyone.

The past few weeks have seen some big changes here and some is well received, some isnt and some, well, time will tell. But regardless, your (you in general) sobriety is important. you got friends here if you ever need to talk.

Hi my names Chris.

I'm not sure if this thread is open to just AA members, or if its open to Ala-non/Ala-teen. If its only for AA, sorry!!

I don't really post much on these threads but I do read alot of posts. I just want to say that reading your posts encourage me. Sometimes if I am unable to get to a Ala-teen or ala-non meeting, I just read your posts. I just need a boost once in a while with positive thoughts, you know?

Anyways, congratulations to everyone!! Being in Ala-non has changed my life, not to mention I found Christ through it as well. You all are an inspiration, I know that the addictions we all face are hard, but I just wanted to say good job and I pray for all of you to keep succeeding!!

Hey Chris! welcome to the Recovery forum!

Sure, you can post here and your more than welcome to. This thread is for any and all who suffer, deal with, connected to alcoholism (and other adictions but alcoholism is the main focus here).

You just made my day with your post!
