Hope your meeting went well. If it didn't, don't stop going, go to another meeting. I know what you mean by cliches, "Meeting makers make it." I love the slogans. They are great mini steps to take along with me daily.

Hi everyone...my name is John P...I live in Melrose, NY. Last month I celebrated 38 years of recovery.. It certainly has been a journey these past 38 years--progress, not perfection; a journey, not a destination; a process, not an event...one day at a time. I'd never trade my worst day sober, for my best day drunk. AA saved my life--physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually...I have a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual condition.

I have included some of the documents I have composed...if interested.:)

John P

Welcome to the site John, so glad you found us. If you are like me, you have found that we have a living program that we take with us a day at a time. Tammy has the say on the documents, as long as they are recovery related I have no problem as long as it isn't advertising for an outside issue.

Hey John, :17: It is great hearing from you. Congratulations on 38 years! :85: I hope you will continue to come and share with us. Have a great day! :)

I am Deb, an alcoholic. I attended my first AS meeting this past Thursday. I had realized that I hated,and I mean hated God and the fact my drinking put my fiance in jail for a parole violation. All because I had beer in therefrigerator. He gets out July 7th but they added the stipulation that we cannot have any contact with each other until he gets off parole November 17th!!! I knew I had to go to something so my therapist suggested AA. I really had to think about it. I made up my to do this!!

Welcome Deb, so glad you made the decision to join us. A daily dose of the day's meditation can start your day off on the right foot.

There is a lot of recovery material in the site. I hope you continue to come and share your journey with us.

We do have a private check in for members only.

It is okay to be angry with God, but it helps to go back later and ask for forgiveness. I found out He wasn't so bad after all. For the most part, it was my decisions that got me into the situation I was in.

In sobriety, you can do lots of thing, the only thing you can't do is pick up that first drink. As they say in recovery, 'one is too many and a thousand isn't enough.'

Hi
 

Hi I’m not new, but had to update my account since I couldn’t access the daily readings anymore. But saying hi anyway. I am sober a little over 6 years and find the readings are great to use for mediation and step work. Thank you for this site!:169:

Thank you for signing in and saying "Hello!" It is good to hear from members new to the board or new and/or old to recovery. It doesn't matter what fellowship you belong to, to my way of thinking, the 12 Steps are a common denominator between them all.

Hey Deb and Denise, :17: It is great having you both join us here. Please make yourselves at home and let us know if you need help with anything. I look forward to hearing more from the both of you. Keep coming and sharing with us. :42:

Hi.. I’m checking in again even tho I checked in yesterday. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

You are not doing anything wrong, we like it when people join and check in with us each day.

We do have a Check in section of the forum that allows you to share privately, just with members. A new Thread means a new topic or post whatever you call it. You can do a quick reply or click on reply if you want to format or post a picture to your thread. I look forward to sharing with you. if that is too confusing, just continue to click in here or share on the material posted on the site or start a new thread with a topic of your own that you want feed back on or just want other people's opinion..

Hi
 

I'm Mary. Thanks for having me:D

I am having trouble, too. I can't figure out how to just introduce myself. I think I replied to someone instead. I'm sure it's simple, but I'm an alcoholic, so I complicate everything lol

Welcome Mary, I am an alcoholic too. You did nothing wrong. Either post is acceptable. The "Introduce Yourself" is for people who don't want to start a new Thread (post) and everyone just piles on.

Hi from New Member Dot Aug 18 2018
 

Hello Everyone,

I am looking forward to having 24 hours a day access to recovery and encouraging messages.

I have never been to an AA meeting that did not help me in some way. Just walking into the rooms brings a feeling of peace.

My most beneficial meeting have been in the last two years working with "Drop the Rock". With the help of my HP I have been able to forgive and act in a loving manner in my life. I am VERY grateful for these meeting.

Welcome Nell, so glad you signed in and said hello to us. I really like your picture.

There is a lot of recovery material here. We have a good search engine if you want to find a specific topic. Please feel free to ask question. We have a daily check in, hope you will join us and share your journey with us. Or if you have trouble navigating the board, feel free to post here.

Hope you find us a little more cheerier than this group. I just loved the picture, but that is me.
