I just read the end of last week's thread. I've heard those stories of being reunited w/children & fam. It's wonderful what sobriety can do.
The state convention on Sat. was wonderful. I went w/2 of my girlfriends from prog. There was an alkathon which I stuck to. It was all about the steps. I went to 3 meetings on step 4 alone...the 3 different parts of step 4: resentments, fears, sex. It was a packed house each time.
I learned a lot about how important it is to work the steps in a serious manner. I have to admit I'm at a bit of a stalemate, as my sponsor has been going through cancer treatment. I'm going to meet w/her next week on step 2. I do step 1 every single day. I try NEVER to forget that I'm an alcoholic who is powerless.
One of our very active AAers in the weekend meetings had a relapse last week. On Thurs he drank. He announced it during the "burning desire" part of the meeting. I think he's on track now, but you can never, ever take your sobriety for granted. The disease is ALWAYS lurking.
Take care one & all.
Mary
