Time To Start Reintroducing

Hi I am JD Alcoholic and Addict

God is whom I choose to call my Higher Power
He is Greater than you or I and has sustained me in my sobriety and clean time in spite of myself.
My Date of Sobriety is August 28th,2004.

Iam currently in the middle of my fourth step hoping to finish before my 4th year anniversary and right now not really making too much progress towards that.
My life situations are very different as I go to a wound center each week to have my legs and feet wrapped.

I have a group that is my homegroup that I attend on wednesday evenings and is a speaker meeting. Its what is working for me right now and I get to hear everyone's ESH (experience, strength, and hope).

I came to the grips of my disease in fear and terror and lots of pain physically emotionally and even spiritually.

The difference is today is that the pain is a little less and I dont drink I go to meetings I call my sponsor and other friends in the program some online and offline and get reminders on where
Iam in the steps and what its going to take to get past even more.

The God of my understanding wants healing hope faith love and life flowing through me today.
at close to my 1 year anniversary I lost my Dad and did not drink this to me was amazing as I look back on it. Shortly after my Dads death I was suicidal and my mom came and got me.

I stayed with her for a while and soon it would be that I would be moving out of the house I was living in and some other people came to my rescue and soon it would be that I learned to live on my own again.

I have now lived in the same place on my own for 2 years and I just moved in the same bldg to a 1 bedroom apt from the efficiency I had. I never thought I would be able to do it. God has changed me in these two years and some of the lessons I would rather not repeat or do over again. There is so much to share of my hope and faith recovery and God Jesus The Holy Spirit.

While I have not always been faithful to God He sure has been to me even when I wasnt sure He was around he Had people on the scene.
Easter of 2008 was another lowly time I got a call from someone who said they were on their way and we would go to a meeting.
We sure did we went to a hospital to see a guy in not so good shape and I found gratitude and it saved my life that day as did the person who picked me up.

Since then its been about recovery though I have slipped into some self pity from time to time but its much better than it used to be.

With Love and Respect To All
JD
