Got to move on !


Back in Sheffield after a great holiday in Bangalore India with my daughter and mother.

Ive had meetings this week with the National Health and the University and all is clear.
After having lived here for 14 months and completed my study course, I am now on he verge of relocating back to Bangalore.

My aged mother and teen daughter need me at close proximity to care for them.
Moreover, the extreme cold and the isolation here is not attractive. Im thinkng I will come back in summer here for a holiday, work and recreation. I will also have to come back in November next year for graduation.

That said, I will leave with a heavy heart. The associations with NA members over the past year has not only sustained my recovery but also renewed it with a new energy.
This has meant that in my 22 year of recovery, I attended nearly 200 face-to-face meetings of NA and a few AA too. And in these nstances some real friendships have developed and it will be hard to let go.
So I must hope to keep and cherish the good memories Ive had here, in this lifetime experience.

That said, I leave with optimism and hope, because of the changes in my thining Ive already seen happening because of the studies. This gives me hope that I will be able to serve clients better and grow in my professional career.
he event studies has also brought about a changein the way I hink about my attitude in NA Service too, Im feeling more satisfaction and fullfillment in the various offices I hold here.
I will make use of some of that theory in the Regiona meeting I will attend tommorow as the regional committe member alt. from the North Esat England Region.

I thank God that I was previleged in this way.

It seems like this move is a good thing for you.
No need to leave NA behind.....You can access us online from India no?
Anyway, in the brief time that I have been here,  I have come to value your posts.
Best of luck to you wherever you find yourself.

Be a little hard to leave this town.
This hasnt been just another town along the road,,,
Ive just come back from the Regional meeting where i did a few good things, some that aided collective insanity, and I also conciously practiced Silence.

Nice vibes, all in all, with the 40 there. In fact there was a tear in my eye as we wound up,,then I got self concious no one was looking.

I will miss British politeness, structuredness and organization.

So thats another thing Im leaving behind,,

Yes, this hasnt been just another town along the road.

And just like yer saying Vin, a year went by, like in the twinkling of an eye !
