i have worked the 12 steps and although i have less than 100 days i feel i am ready...i want to work with others in a higher capacity than i am now...i need to work with others to keep me sober...spirituality and working with others...thats the key...remember that craig....dont forget
i need to read this again and again so i am posting it here where i can find it
i am not a normal person, i cannot have just one, i am a man who has lost my legs and the hardest part is that they will never grow back.
one of the hardest parts of recovery for me is that i can never be like others.
when i desire to have just one or even just one night to relax after work or take the edge off, i pray, i go to a meeting (there are so many here in Los Angeles, it really is a great place to get sober) or on a walk, or to a favorite spot (a park, the stables, a coffee shop) and do everything i would have been doing to relax without the drugs or alcohol.
i know how much it sucks to have to be different, i know how much it sucks to not be able to just take a hit or a drink or a pill to relax or to get the head to shut up, but it was never just one hit or just one drink or just one pill.
my life depends on me staying sober, without my sobriety i would be dead.

i was so tired but made it to my home group anyway...wish i was more awake, i think i would have gotten more out of it. the speaker picked the topic of forgiveness, that was good it opened up some nice discussion. when she said forgiveness all i could think about was how i should and do forgive people, but the group discussion went to how people felt that it is hard to accept forgiveness, that they feel that they sometimes dont deserve it. it made me appreciete my parents and how they have forgiven me without me even having to ask for it. they go on my thankful list tonite
i want some whats with all the cocaine cravings? whatever, i made it 91 days, now i can start talking in months
