Using the principles of recovery in everyday life


Hey everyone....

I'm really excited about this and I just had to share it with someone.  So I've been trying to get back into college, which is something I'd never thought I would have the courage to do, and I've been stressing about how I am going to pay for it all.  I'm currently on disability so my income is fairly low.  I have been praying and trying to keep the faith that it will all work out.  So I did the work and filled out a lot of paper work and made appointments.  I kept my paciences with the system and the staff at the college and the hard work from my hp and myself came through today.  I recieved a grant to cover the first semester. I need to do simular stuff to continue coverage on the other 7 I will need to take to complete my diploma.  I'm not really thinking about that I'm just excited that I can go to school and not worry about increasing debt.  They also helped me figure a way to get around the credit check if I need to apply for one.  I was calm through the whole process and just kept putting one more step in front of the other and it worked.  Thanks na, cause old behaviour me would of freaked and gave up months ago.  NA taught me to keep the faith and prayer but also do all the work to get what you would like out of life.  I'm a big person for sayings in words and I thought of this through my struggles that I find kinda neat.  FAITH- F found A acceptance I in T the H hurt.  thanks

p.s. I meet a new comer today who lives in a place with very few meetings...... I sugguested this site for her so she'll know she will never be alone.  thanks for making this place possible
