Interesting night

I did not plan to go to a meeting tonight but then the phone rang and a woman new to our fellowship called looking for support and a ride to a meeting. She is struggling and decided to check herself into detox in the am. She has been a member of another fellowship in the past. She has had periods of sobriety but life is pretty awful these days. I am very hopeful for her. She has all her ducks in a row and is ready to go. It is wonderful to see the seeds taking some root.She came to a meeting because the law said she HAD to but she keeps coming because she wants to. I am tired today it would have been so much easier to stay home but I am sure glad I did not. Laurie

That was SO awesome of you!! Thanks for being our inspiration!!

Dana, Thanks but the reality is that if I am not there for someone looking for help just like I was I will not grow in my recovery. I do feel good about it but I do not think it is asking much. Had someone not invited me and probably gone to more meetings than they wanted in the beginning I might not have the recovery I experience today. I really hope with all my heart this gal gets well and has the recovery she needs. I am grateful because I lost very little except for my peace of mind and health. When I see someone who started out with the same situation I did and now has NOTHING I know it could just as well have been me. Oh and I am so happy to get rid of that birthday photo! It was fun for awhile but ouch painful to see daily! LOL Laurie
