This is an area which I am not able to commit to. My pain is always worse at night and don't do well traveling at night.
I regularly visit the four web sites that I post on. That is a daily commitment. When I came into recovery, I did two meetings a day for two years. At 10 years sober, I was still doing 7-10 meetings a week because of service commitments. After that, the numbers decreased to 3 a week. The last few years I am luck if I get 3 f2f meetings a month. That is why I am so grateful for the on line meeting here.
Meetings were important. I found myself reflected in the people there. My sponsor said, "You can learn two things there. How to work your program and how not to work your program.
Going to meetings helped me to choose a sponsor. I wanted someone who had what I wanted, more importantly, someone who was walking their talk.
My bridge partner informed me last Friday he wouldn't be available this coming Friday. He figured he would be too tired from work to be a good partner and wouldn't be able to enjoy himself. I said, "That works for me, I can go and pick up my multiple years key tag for my anniversary." Doesn't matter that it is 3 weeks late. I wish the meeting was on another night and not on my bridge night as it is just across the street. Even so, in he winter time, it isn't always accessible. My walker doesn't come equipped with snow tires.
