Hi Friends, I hope everyone is doing well and feeling blessed. I havent had time yet to read the profiles of those of you I know to catch up....and I know you prob. have been wondering if I fell off the face of the earth, or just" off the wagon "-Im so Happy to say neither!!
So much has happened and so much of it has been bad. Despite that, I celebrated 3 years April 24th. Well I didnt get to really celebrate because Im 1000 miles away from my sponsor and my home group! In March,We decided to move here to the windy city(Chicago). Back where I was born and raised. My husband Dave got an offer to transfer either here, Houston or somewhere in Oregon lol. I chose home.But it doesnt feel like home(yet?). When I opened this up to write and my heart started pounding because I finally remembered how to get back to this site(I dont have my own computer) ,it felt more like home here in this forum than Chicago does I was 26 when I left here, and Im going on 43. We are living with my daughter and her family until We figure out where exactly we want to live and come up with the deposits and all that fun stuff.
I have not been going to meetings and I need a new sponsor.I still talk to the one Ive had., for we are good friends but I know it would help me in more than one way if I got out and into a new home group. God put his hand out to me, and for the first time in months I thought about trying tro find you again (I had tried several times when we lived with my mom a couple months w/out our puter) I have so much to tell but Ill do it gradually.We all know I could write a book on here if I knew someone would read it.
I MISSED you all so so much and I was so happy to see familiar names on the front message pages! Hugs to all of you . Its good to be home. Home truly is where the heart is....
In all these years at MIP, Ive had an observation= Sometimes we stay sometimes we go, but for those for whom this Forum offers sustanence in recovery, they always come back.
Glad to have you back here Carol,, looking forward to your very real posts.
