I am due in anywhere from 4-6 wks, a little baby girl. I have a strong desire to attend meetings, i was able to attend a speaker meeting for two hours last sunday. I am so thankful that today i am able to share on this forum because i am physically unable to attend a meeting this day. I feel bad not being able to attend because i am unable to get out to the bus, i am limited in my activity. However, i am able to learn and share right here. I know that i am only as sick as my secerets...i am tired of being sick and doing the same old thing that did not work for me in the past. I am grateful for my sponsor and all the love that she gives to me. Thank you for being here.
Welcoming a new life into the world is always a wonderful experiance. You are in exactly the right place when you cannot make face to face meetings. I have had 4 high-risk babies myself. I understand the concept of being stuck at home. There are some really wise people here with some considerable clean time that post magic somedays.
There is also a link on here for the Miracles in Progress chat room. There is usually a meeting there every night at 10 pm eastern time.
Keep Sharing. God Bless you.
Kathleen

Welcome, I am here for you if you need to chat. 4 years ago I was 5 months pregnant with my son and was still using. Thank God for NA because I got clean and my son was born healthy as a rock. He's a handful and I love him. If it wasn't for NA I wouldn't have been able to enjoy him. Unfortunately, I lost custody of my daughter when she was 18 months old, she's 9 now and I can see her whenever I want, but for the longest time drugs controlled my every move. I am now 2 1/2 years clean and loving it. My best suggestion is to surrender eveything, let go of all reservations and start living. Best of luck to you and all my love. Doris in VA
Thank you for sharing, I have decided to let my older sister adopt my other daughgter, she will be four in October. She developed epilepsy. I know that I could take care of her and myself and my unborn child. However, I also am emowered to know that my number one trigger is to overwhelm myself and neglect my mental health. In lieu of this I acknowledge to myself that I just because I can does not mean that I should. Much love.
So true what you shared above Anny. I'm also better able to take care of my loved ones and friends only when I take well care of my own physical, mental and emotional health first. Yes, it's very easy for me to overwhelm myself with issues of my loved ones at times to such an extent that I neglect my own health and on top of it, I also end up not contributing my healthy, supportive self to my loved ones in the bargain. Not fair on me, not fair on my loved ones.
Congratulations, I guess the little princess is only 2-4 weeks due now
Thank you for sharing, NA Hugs.

Alaska Ellen will be born in about 2-4 weeks. my sponsor, bless her heart, has brought some baby things to me. I am very excited. Today i sent off the letter to begin the finalization of my older daughters parenting plan of allowing my older sister and her husband adopt my four year old. she is living w/ them and has been since last jan. she is flourishing. i love to see her happy. if i were not clean and sober today i would not be alive here to see her happiness. i am thankful for many things, one of which is my sobriety.
