I went to a speaker meeting (AA) Sunday night, and it's probably the 4th or 5th one I've been to , plus the cd's I've borrowed to listen to, but this woman's story really hit home, i was in tears. I'm not going to go into the details, just that I think I was supposed to hear that. No more will I romanticize the drug or drink, I will play that tape through to the end!!(and the end for me is what will happen if I go back to that, cause I know it won't be pretty) I don't know, my sponsor says I've finally turned my will over and I think that's right.

Good to see you Adriana glad your still hanging in with us
I went to a mens NA meeting last night and damn did I hear some good stuff. only 5 of use there and I never even spoke just sat and listened knowing I was in a good place, with friends, though I didn't even get to no one of them our storys are the same. One guy I could really really relate too all over the place, age, background etc, I left feeling really good.
We all have some turning point, I know I don't want to use anymore I don't want to NEED to use ever again I want my life to be good sober and clean no matter whats going on and not have the need to escape it thru drugs or alcohol.
