Hi Patty:) i like the "namaste!" meaning. I swear it's easier to get off of drugs and alcohol than it is toxic relationships and nicotine...believe me I know. I take the reigns back from God all the time! Until the pain gets great enough where I let them go again, or a fellow recoverer smacks me with some truth I love recovery, I truly do- even when I hate it, I love it....glad to met ya! have a decent weekend! ( I would say have a good weekend, but sometimes that is too tall an order) lol
hugs
Jessie

Jesse,
Thanks for the warm welcome, and "Namaste!" (translation: "The Divine in Me bows to the Divine in You"). Congratulations on your recovery! You're one of myheros. A friend of mine once said that those who are addicted are screaming the loudest to find God. Although drugs and alcohol haven't been my addiction of choice, I still have an addictive personality...I'm still trying to break my addiction to tobacco and bad relationships...I make progress then fall off the wagon. I hadn't worked my program in years and took the reins back from God. Back to step 1. Thank you for your post about the 10 requirements f/ God list...it was so perfect...it's so true that the universe provides...we just have to be open to it!
Hi, thanks for adding me as a friend! I am Jessie, and I am an addict/alcoholic but also very codependent, so I can relate to that My sponsor and I occasionally go to alanon/acoa meetings, so I have the best of both worlds Welcome!
Thanks, Dennis. Lesson I've learned is recovery is a life-long thing...not good to say, "Okay, I get it" and think you're "cured"...no cure...healing. I want to stay healthy. I'm grateful that I found this site. I do know that when we're ready, the universe provides, and for that I'm ever grateful. Thankfully, we don't always get what we want (many times it just ain't good for us no matter how badly we want it) but we do always get exactly what we need if we don't resist and let God take charge.
