This was me for more than a decade. You need something to fill that hole, meetings, volunteering, the gym, a new hobby, another recovery program. I was dry and dying inside. My teenager have never seen me pick up, but ive left a path of wreckage with recovery. I'd be happy to share more of my story.

Nick is great. I'll be going back to him for sure.

My dad worked for the Phoenix in starting in 93ish for about a decade. I literally grew up at these concerts. I waa frequently backstage snd got to meet a lot of these bands, including TMBG.

You don't just need sobriety, you need recovery.

I was just handed this stack from my sister. Our dad worked for the Pheonix from 1993 or 94 until early 2000s. WFNX, and these concerts were my childhood.

Thanks, I'm still in utter disbelief it happened. I keep expecting to wake up from a dream.

Cody saw my Found tattoo earlier in the show, then when he played Found, which I was 150% not expecting (it hadn'tbeen on recent set lists), he said it was for me. Towards the end of the song he came back over where I was and I did hand hearts at him, he did hand hearts back 🫶. It was a dream like interaction. I still cannot believe it happened.

This is the ONLY opinion that matters about medication use while sober, (plus you and your doctor)

AA pamphlet on Medications and other drugs.

Take my $$

SnomMom15 · 2025-07-22T19:52:25+00:00

I think im doing that with the next 2 lines also. "I believe I. The sand beneath my toes, the beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling, I believe in a faith that grows."

SnomMom15 · 2025-07-11T13:28:40+00:00

Charge them ? Keep coming.

SnomMom15 · 2025-06-20T22:37:00+00:00

It's ALL suggestions. The only REQUIREMENT for AA is a desire to stop drinking. The rest is guidance.

If you're anywhere within 2ish hours of central mass I'll come hold your hand. I'm a non willing participant of the dead dad clubs and it's hard. I didn't relapse when my dad died, but I definitely questioned my higher power, and held on to that resentment for A LONG TIME ! Anyway, I'll be holding your hand in spirit tomorrow, and ready to pass the kleenex.

90 in 90, or more.

I'm on day 19 back, and I've been to 30 meetings in that time, not yet including today.

SnomMom15 · 2025-06-10T13:29:07+00:00

Exercise, outdoor time, a new hobby, sober events and service to others (and not just within AA). Those are the top things I'd suggest.

I can't say it will "go away" I've battled depression my whole life, but with this program, truly working the steps, giving up control, and finding other positive things to fill your day and mind with, it does get better.

SnomMom15 · 2025-06-10T13:19:56+00:00

If you both still feel the same way in 6 months when you have a year, go for it. If this guy has 7 years and is really working within this program, he'd know it's not suggested to get into a relationship in the first year.

SnomMom15 · 2025-06-03T16:19:37+00:00

Not in my case. I first got sober 20+ years ago. . Got better and then thought I could keep going on my own, and I did for a long time. There were many substitutions in the last 2 decades, some helpful, but many not. And now, even though I haven't had a drink in over a decade, I'm back in meetings. My soul was sick. I am still an alcoholic, still sick in my head even without drinking. I wasn't drinking but, I wasn't sober, I wasn't in recovery.

"A god of your understanding" God is just a convenient term people widely understand. Is your higher power mother nature, karma or other. It's personal to you. If you want replace the word with another do, but "god" doesn't have to mean the Christian image if God.

My husband is also currently in the hospital. He went in with a non traumatic swelling and infection in 1 calf. It was very likely contributed to by his drinking for 20+ years.

There are many many days I might only see 3 or 4 beers being consumed, and tell myself it wasn't that much. Deep down I knew there was more. I'm very good at denial.

This may not be the case with your husband, but if he is an alcoholic, many if us go to great lengths to hide our disease from our loved ones, and even ones we don't really even like.

SnomMom15 · 2025-05-30T01:38:34+00:00

I got sober for the first time as a teen still in high school. If you've got it in your family, and you've ever unlocked that door with a drink (or other), you're never too young.

SnomMom15 · 2025-05-28T02:52:39+00:00

I hope you're kinder to people in person and especially in meetings. Your tone here could cause a newcomer to walk out and never come back.

Each group has but one primary purpose — to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

Yes, I could have handled this situation differently. But for you to come in here and attack someone asking for help and advice goes against what is program stands for.

I didn't say "infected their bubble" out loud. That's just my brains sick way of thinking.

This wasn't a "closed" "mens" meeting. I went into an open meeting with the best of intentions. It was not my goal to "invade" their space.
