back again, need support
Posted On 02/01/2010 23:54:48 by katie-wiu

Hello! I havent been on here for months...ive been out there struggling...but i have 2 weeks sober and im sticking to my program.  Im doing well in school, but i know i need some support...my university is in a small town...theres only one meeting a day...and not many people that go to it.  I asked a lady to be my sponsor...she agreed, but i am slowly finding out that she wasnt the best person to ask...but there was no one else..she only wants to argue about politics with me and tell me how her family hates her...anywho...I thought maybe id find someone on here willing to help me stay accountable and focused on the program...possibly an online sponsor? 

I graduate college next May...and my ultimate goal in sight is to graduate with a year sober...and I have a year ahead of me...so it sounds like a great plan to me...I am super serious about working hard and abstaining completley...I dont just want to put "the plug in the jug" I want to work the steps, learn, and heal.  and I know I will need support...and I am recently learning to ask for help! haha.

Support available here.


Don't think of abstaining for a life time. Too long a period.


You have some "living" problems to address and you need a dose of self-esteem and some tools to do that. When you get OK with you, the need to escape goes away. Hope this makes sense.


Why do you go to school and want to study abroad. Could it be because you can learn from other? Looks like your teachable, a good things!!

Katie -


     Glad to see you back. I often find small meetings, but then I learned that the most important person there for me is me. I usually leave sober.


    Finding a sponsor that will help you stay the course is important, and a bad one can be worse than none at all. Online sponsorship is difficult, but can be rewarding as you actually spend a bit more time coordinating and insuring that you can meet up and get things done.


     In the meantime, keep blogging and reaching out - your fellowship will reach back...


YF,


Dennis

Those are some great goals to have, and sobriety is the best goal. One day at a time...
