...I'm sad about that too.....I know all too well that I can only carry the message and not the alcoholic, but it still makes me sad. Pray for her.
VW...I will pray for her...I remember when my first sponsee went out...it was not pleasant...but all I could do was pray for her...and learn how not to take responsibility for it...I took it personally for a while...but others in the program helped me get through my own issues about it...Not sure what ever happened to her...she moved out of state...but it was a valuable lesson for me: one how "easy" relapse is and two letting go....I know you are going through a lot right now so be good to you...take care of you....{{{HUGS}}} Love Gina
I was temp sonsor to young man who wrapped his car around a lamp post on Saturday night. He was using again. I assume he was wasted. His family buried him this week. He was 18........
Thank God I am clean today......

Thanks Gina, I called my Sponsor at 5:00 am this morning and she talked me down about my Sponsee, T....so I feel better about that...she reminded me I can't give away something I haven't got...and right now I'm all tapped out!
OMG, Calabash, so sorry to hear that! My Sponsor informed me that a friend of ours, picked up again and he was drunk, tripped over his dog, was in a black out too, came to, heard neighbors, called for helped...well, the way he hit his neck and head, well, he is paralyzed from the neck down....the direct result of alcoholism once again. Cunning, baffling and powerful, this disease, it's waiting to take us all out in one form or another.

Hey VWGirl
Time out put your feet up and have one of them macadamia coffee thingys you talked about once at the end of the day we are sounding boards for sponsees and we plant the seed of recovery in them and it has to compete with the garden of addiction, so untill it can take hold there will be some tough growing times.
At the moment addiction is chizzeling at your recovery with all that is going on and it will be pissed that you are going to have some VW time.
Good on you VWGirl and go to a travel agent and get some brochures or look at a couple of days away recharging your energy as other people can use it up really quickly. :)
Hey Calabash Hows things? and sorry to hear about the temp sponsee and amen to being sober today
Light and love Zac

Thanks Zac...can I come to NZ? Oh, btw I'm at my Sister's house tonight, so I'm under her name...
Hey VWG anytime you and your man or any member of your family need a bed in NZ you are more than welcome to come and stay.
One day we should all plan a holiday halfway each for us to travel somewhere and all meet....just an idea....and it sort of grows on you after awhile......and it would be pretty exciting.....the seed is planted.

It's me Geri, still at Rachel's house ~ I'd probably just come by myself! I actually never shared this but my BF switched addictions and he is a workaholic now...so that is kinda difficult for me....however, guess what, I am having a pumpkin spice latte this morning with my sister, hey maybe Rach could come with me...love the idea of all us meeting in some central location!
Hey Geri...I am so crazy. I had it twisted. I thought that Rachel was posting yesterday for you??? Either way I have you both in my thoughts and prayers. BTW Geri Ygm....I hope it goes through. I sent it to your verizon account.
Take care and try to have a good day!

Thanks Val, I'll try to check from Rachel's house....hope you are doing well...thanks for all your loving support, it's weird I don't even know you personallly but you've carried me through this in ways you can't imagine...thanks for the cards. Love, Geri
Yeah it's weird how we connect. When I first came to this site you were so great to me and I honestly believe you helped keep me on the right track. I sent you a card last night for both you and Rach.
Try to have a good day pal.
