Newbie - Recovering Alcoholic - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

AWalton789 · 09-02-2014, 07:11 PM

Hey all,

I am a recovering alcoholic and I am new to this forum. I am hoping to meet new people and offer some advice and help, and "Pay It Forward". Without a great support system I wouldn't be going on 701 days sober (almost 2 years, yay!). I hope I can help!

Welcome AWalton, thank you for signing in and saying hello. Thank you for making the decision to join our family. Look forward to sharing with you.

I say this prayer first thing in the morning and throughout the day if I start to think about drugs and follow it up by doing something, even something little that I know pleases God. And after practicing for a few days you really get a wonderful deep high of pleasing God and knowing he loves you.

Welcome Walton and Walee! Glad to have you both here!

Hope you enjoy the readings and hope to see you around some more!

Welcome Ali, thank you for signing in and saying hello. I agree, you can't beat those natural highs of recovery.

Loved the Serenity Prayer, found out I couldn't wear it out and it was about the only thing I could remember in the moment. It worked!

Thank you for the welcome MajestyJo. I really enjoy reading your daily gratitude thread. I try to do the same the first thing when I wake up and the last thing at night. It's really helped in turning a seemingly mundane day into something very powerful.

Thank you for sharing, it is always there if we look for it. By the looks of things I should say, welcome neighbor, have been to a few meetings in your fair city, for CA when I had a boyfriend in that fellowship and I got active in the fellowship and was a member of the women's discussion group. I can identify with "...any mind altering substance!"

If we go within, and get honest with ourselves, it is surprising what we find there.
