Hello everybody on site. Thank you for the warm welcome. Now you know that I am the new kid on the block. I've been on less than thirty minutes and have already screwed up the first post. Translation:- Be patient with me please until I find my way around. I think it's great that there is a place where we can come and share ~ especially since we all have the same disease. Hope to be back real soon. Peace and all good! Moonchild ~ moonchildisnew     |

What's up everyone? Glad to see ya Aubrey. I visit this site sometimes but haven't felt motivated to post much. I miss the old sbc site even though I never thought I would. You all know how alcoholics love to handle change...lol. Change is inevitable. Anyways it's good to see a few of the sbc bunch here. I'll visit more often. Things are going well out here in California.

it almost seems we've cast out into the wind. That's a familar feeling, Chris. That's a bit about how this site came to 'be'. I can't say that I liked how it transpired, or the circumstances around all this....but there are folks who've stuck around to do the journey together cuz they have a common goal, a mission...a hearts desire to have something different than what they were finding in what was once a place that they could embrace. It's not fun breaking from a group when that's become your haven, your home away from home.....though sometimes it's necessary for the sanity and peace of the few who recognize what needs to happen for them to keep growing in their faith, in their program and in their lives. It's happened in my life out there...it's happened in my life 'in here'. Try... That's the best I can offer. That feeling of being cast to the wind after developing loving, invested relationships in a place and in a zone where it was sanctioned and encouraged only to discover that discomfort growing to such great proportions that a 'move' is required....it's a tough thing. But you know we alcoholics resist change. And it's hard seeing the good when there's pain involved, and loss...and a feeling of 'what used to be' permeating 'what is'.... I don't know about you, but there was a great deal of pain in remaining and a great deal of pain in moving for me. And yep, it did feel like we were all cast to the wind. I'm guilty of creating some of that for myself and for other people cuz of the choices I made for me--not all bad choices, but choices that affected people that I truly did and still do care greatly about. I'd welcome all of you to set your sights on creating for you what worked for you....PLUS. It's a simple thing to go back to do what worked. We 'get back to basics' all the time around the tables. The fear of recreating the problem was what got in my way, and the fear of not ever getting back what we had. I'm thinkin' it was my disease in action trying to cheat me. Dunno... LOL....see, even writing this makes me sad for the personal losses, the friendships that seemingly got altered forever, and the love for each other that I'm afraid will never be recaptured. You're welcome here. And bit by bit there's something to create and embrace wherever your feet are. For me it's always a question of 'will or won't'. While I don't get to control the outcome, I do get to control exactly what I'm willing to do, how much of 'me' I'm willing to put into something, regardless of the results. The good news is--what do you have to lose? Just food for thought! And my apologies if I've read this one all wrong...LOL I've been known to do that on occasion! *hugs* |

I try to recall how, i felt when i first got into AA sites. We all are about change. We have to adapt at any place in our life. I'm new to the internet. I just got online at home in Feb. or march. I've noticed the e-mails slow when, the weather gets nice. LOL I have to place the puter time lower on my scale of importance.
When, it comes to being on the lake sailing with a 15 mile an hour breeze the puter will always come in second. I've met so many wonderful people in AA. Chatting all the way around the world. I can never discount the importance the net has in my recovery. I also, have to remember not to make this an addiction as well. The bad thing about e-mailing people in AA all around the world is, you can find your self never sleeping LOL
Everyone's ESH has really help me along in my program.
TY
Chris

Dear Aubrey, We've never met but I know we are sisters in sobriety, and I have been following this thread. I want to wish you Happy 7th AA Anniversary on July 20, 2004. July is a pretty good month for alkies. I am going to be 23 years sober, odaat, on July 14, 2004. I wish all of the Sober City Family as much happiness as they can have for one day, with all of you being separated from your haven. I'm glad you have our boards to keep in touch with each other and to make new friends here at EOR. love ya all,

TEXT i don't even know if, i'm setting the colors right on this. I joined this site cuz it was easy to get into. LOL I didn't have to be a puter geek to get in. I know, the weather has alot to do with the slow down in the posting. I know, it slows a lot of attendence in our meetings.
I'm sitting here for a loss sometimes. i feel like i have nothing to share anymore. I got mine you get yours. I hear someone new come in and iwonder if, he'll be there next year. i do know, this is selfish. My sobriety has to come first nothing else matters unless I'm sober. I know I;m contented today. I have to not let the world problems i have no control over get to me.
I did stay drunk for years and say I know what they need to do. Now that I'm sober, I want to do something. Getting sober you sometimes realize i can't God can I think i let him. Anyone new to AA it will get better. We get sober and we stay sober by helping the next guy
