Im new here and im in recovery from drugs and alcohol . If anybody has advice to staying sober the paths to take that would be helpful -
What’s up guys, I’m a three time alumni from Stepworks. Yes I took it literal when they said “keep coming back”. I’m so thankful for the team at stepworks, giving me a foundation in step one was huge , this is the only step thy we must 100% do! The idea has to be completely smashed that we can drink successfully. If you don’t think so you can be a three time alumni too, if you make it back. Now I’m little over two years sober, have a beautiful God sent wife, and have visitations with my son set through the court. Take a suggestion, be honest, openminded, and willing to a new way of life. If you don’t believe me seek it out yourself what keeps landing you in jail, and institutions. Love you all and hit me up anytime, who knows it may help you stay sober today, I know it will help me stay sober today! -

December 28 Depression “We are no longer fighting fear, anger, guilt, self-pity, or depression.” Basic Text, p. 27 ––––=–––– As addicts, many of us experience depression from time to time. When we feel depressed, we may be tempted to isolate ourselves. However, if we do this, our depression may turn to despair. We can’t afford to let depression lead us back to using. Instead, we try to go about the routine of our lives. We make meeting attendance and contact with our sponsor top priorities. Sharing with others about our feelings may let us know we aren’t the only ones who have been depressed in recovery. Working with a newcomer can work wonders for our own state of mind. And, most importantly, prayer and meditation can help us tap the power we need to survive depression. We practice acceptance and remember that feelings like depression will unquestionably pass in time. Rather than struggle with our feelings, we accept them and ask for the strength to walk through them. ––––=–––– Just for today: I accept that my feelings of depression won’t last forever. I will talk openly about my feelings with my sponsor or another person who understands. -
You see meth, I see fear. You see alcohol, I see social anxiety. You see track marks, I see depression. You see a Junkie, I see someone's son. You see a prostitute, I see someone's daughter caught in addiction. You see self-centeredness, I see addiction has taken over. You see a pill head, I see over prescribing of opiates. You see someone unwilling to change, I see someone hasn't connected with them yet. You see denial, I see someone hurting. You see someone nodding out, I see God showing us they need help. You see the end, I see the beginning. You see a dope fiend, I see a future success story. You see them, I see me. #shareyourpicture #endthestigma #Septemberisrecoverymonth #onedayatatime -
The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences* which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows and toward God’s universe. The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous (p. 25). -

Wednesday, September 8 Thought for the Day Another of the mottoes of A.A. is "But for the Grace of God." Once we have fully accepted the program we become humble about our achievement. We do not take too much credit for our sobriety. When we see another suffering alcoholic in the throes of alcoholism, we say to ourselves: "But for the grace of God, there go I." We do not forget the kind of people we were. We remember those we left behind us. And we are very grateful to the grace of God, which has given us another chance. Am I truly grateful for the grace of God? Meditation for the Day A consciousness of God's presence as One who loves you makes all life different. The consciousness of God's love promotes the opening of your whole being to God. It brings wonderful relief from the cares and worries of our daily lives. Relief brings peace and peace brings contentment. Try to walk in God's love. You will have that peace which passes all understanding and a contentment that no one can take from you. Feel sure of God's unfailing love and care for you and for all His children. There is freedom and serenity in those who walk in God's love, held safe in His loving care. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may walk in God's love. I pray that, as I go, I may feel the spring of God's power in my steps and the joy of His love in my heart. -

I'm on a spiritual high like no other. Don't know if I can even sleep. I've finally surrendered as long as I don't drive and let God be God this thing will work. I'm truly grateful for my higher power, the fellowship. Been in the darkness long enough time to change it all. Benny H. Alcoholic -
