Happy Holidays to my fellow recovering drunks and to those of you who are still suffering and struggling with this insidious disease of alcoholism. I wanted to stop by the board and thank all of you for your honesty, your experience, your strength, your hope, your open-mindedness and the willingness you all exert to try to combat this killing disease. It is with humility and gratitude that I post this message today...you guys have helped me more than you will know. Sometimes when there isn't a meeting to get to, I can get on here and get the dose, the fix, of recovery, hope and solution that I need on a daily basis.
Merry Christmas Geri,
I'm so glad you popped in. It just gets so busy this time of yr. I was just a tad bit worried. Now I don't have to be. You will never know how much your ESH has helped me. How it stays with me where ever I am. " It's easier to stay sober then it is to get sober." I didn't understand it for a long time, but now I do!
Thankyou Geri! Wishing you and your daughter's a very Merry Christmas and a
Healthy and Happy New Year!
Love, Chris

I hope you and everyone are having a peaceful sober Holiday. Mine has been 99% serene.....has been better than a lot of Christmas's....lots of serenity floating around my family. For that, I'm very grateful.

I'm sure it was all it could be for you--isn't it wonderful? No expectations, no hangups, no resentment? And somewhere along the way, little messages from My Higher Power, whom I will call God, letting me know He's there.
Awesome. Merry Christmas--and a Happy and Serene New Year to you!

Hi Again Everyone, I am off work until the 7th of January, woooooooooohooooooooo! I've actually been out of work since last Friday, but I went to a wedding and then had all the other Chrismas stuff going on. So grateful for a pretty good Christmas...my sister's gathering was very nice; however my boyfriend, or the guy who I date (that's what I call him now)...irritated me...he no longer is embracing the Program and it shows! However, yep, I had to do it and open up that bottle of resentment I was carrying around with me for a couple of months towards him and spewed out the venom and I did it in the car with his Mom, Dad and Grandpa in there with us ~ immediate 10th step...my Sponsor is going to help me sort this through....it may be time for a change for me........actually I already think I know what the answer is that I will come to, but I'll take my Sponsor's direction, turn it over to God, get into action and pray...then accept the outcome. Oh, also, I got to go down to Skid Row yesterday in Los Angeles at the crack of dawn with some of the "Hag's Stag" meeting members that I sometimes go to...we passed out toiletries to the women on the streets, and those are some mean streets....there were even rats running in and out of the sewer...oh, and a guy had all his gear rigged up and was gonna hit it right there sittin' on the street corner....am I grateful, oh my God, I am so very, very grateful...I had tears in my eyes just watching the homeless children, so sad! Have a great Wednesday everyone!
