Hi All , I'm new here just checking out some recovery sites. Been on medical leave lately and doing some new stuff. Never actually checked out online recovery sites before, was always too busy going to meetings doing the steps sponsoring people- Being part of recovery comitees etc.. I just finished listening to one of my favourite speaker tapes Mickey Bush and it was great especially after seeing all the CRAP on the net about recovery rates and people slamming A.A. N.A. Basically all the "12 STEP PROGRAMS" That they were hurting in these fellowships or was there for 2 weeks to 2 years and was still in pain and suffering. Yet one thing I noticed is the majority of these people were expecting the fellowship to heal them or get some "CURE" from meetings. It's just like My Sponsor taught me and Mickey says in his tapes -" You don't get recovery by OSMOSIS, there's a lot of work to be done and only each of us can do our own work wirthout the work it doesn't work. The fellowship is great and meetings are great and these sites are great BUT recovery is in working "THE 12 STEP PROGRAM".
