Attending meetings, hearing fellow addicts/alcoholics share their stories, and discovering that others feel the same way we feel helps with acceptance and honesty. When others share honestly with us who they are, we feel free to do the same. As we learn to tell others the truth about ourselves, we learn to accept ourselves.

Sharing Honestly

Our history is our greatest asset for helping others, I always try to remember that when I’m feeling anxious and fearful about sharing in front of a group.
Yes I love helping others too because we born again and we love life !!!!!
We’re my bad lol !!!!
Almost ready to order my 4 month coin
Awesome Scott !!!!!
Congrats Scott that’s such a great accomplishment!!
Congrats Scott that’s such a great accomplishment!!
I appreciate that, but now it’s back on day 3, not a lot of negative consequences this time, but a reminder of how miserable I can be
Hang in there Scott just pray brother !!!!!!
Keep coming back
Yes keep coming back !!!!!
Glad you’re back and remember one day at a time. For me sometimes it was one minute at a time.. Some people don’t get a next chance so don’t beat yourself up just move forward 🙂 don’t take that first drink and you won’t get drunk .. Proud of you for getting back
It’s my first day back Scott. I’m with you, not a lot of negative consequences but such a poor example for my children. Hate the back and forth, need to settle into sobriety for good.
It’s ok Barbara u can do it just pray then your peace will come !!!!!
I know, Barbera, didn’t even enjoy it, but still couldn’t or wouldn’t stop. Luckily I ran out of money.
Well I didn’t run out of money but happened to be at the Kentucky Derby and saw so many people behaving badly due to alcohan that I couldn’t stand it and actually stopped drinking myself. God is changing me. In the past I would not have wanted the party to end. Hope for continuing growth.
Scott and Barbara one day at a time! This program really does work if you work it.. How awesome that you got to go to the Kentucky derby!! I’ve learned that it’s not what money we have or don’t have or how we get that drink it’s only a symptom.. For me having found me (still a work in progress) is what matters.. This disease can get anyone: old, young, rich, poor.. If you’ve got it.. You’ve got it.. I have it!! Today.. I don’t have to take a drink no matter what.. I’ve learned how to face life on life’s terms and I keep learning more everyday.. Don’t beat yourselves up because we have all been there!! One day for me – 24 hours – was a miracle in itself … It works if you work it and life’s worth it!!
Life is worth it life is awesome enjoy it !!!!!!!
Just went back to my first meeting again in months! I relapsed last October 2015 i had 14 months smh! I wish I could have stayed strong my life has hit rock bottom now and alcohol is not helping at all! I have never been so depressed I almost admitted myself twice because I just know I needed extra help but I decided to go get my chip yesterday and go to a meeting at 12 after I saw my psychiatrist and therapist and boy did I feel amazing walking out of there! I have surely missed AA and I am admitting I am powerless over over alcohol and my life has become unmanageable. So tomday I will go back to that 12 o clock meeting and see how I feel. I finally have a sponsor so that’s pretty awesome! So thanks for letting me share. I have to stop thinking bout the past and look towards the future…..when I dwell on the past it kills me!!!!!! Thanks for letting me share!
Welcome back it will get better for u pray and find your peace !!!!!
Deanna all of us will pray for u !!!!!
Thank you so much!
It will get better Deanna ok smile girl and find your peace ✌️!!!!
As we often say ” we don’t shoot our wounded”. Just get back to meetings.
Slips or relapses happen . Just start over face it get honest about it at a meeting. Put one foot in front of the other.
Another saying borrowed from the navy seals” the only easy day was yesterday”.
Reach out for help. I will pray for you.
I’m on a 7 day cruise ship with my til this Saturday enjoying the married and sober life. Life is awesome !!!!!!❤️

Good job !!!!!
AA does one thing it sobers up Alcoholics nowhere in the book does it refer to addict/alcoholic. This is a phrase dreamed up by rehabs to keep their beds full. If you don’t have the common problem alcoholism you cant possibly get the solution. Having one foot in addiction and one foot in AA cuts your focus in half and in AA half measures avail you nothing Bill
Alcoholism is an addition.
