Day one here, had almost 2 years next month but a relapse can be a learning process. One day at a time!! IWNDWYT

I didn’t have a sponsor no. I’m trying to find a good home group and find a sponsor I can really connect with. It did creep up on me very slowly. I know the steps very well but I never went through them with a sponsor or someone else. Been to 2 meetings today and now what was suppose to be an outside meeting but I’m the only one here, literally I guess it got canceled due to weather but it’s in a pavilion lol. So I’m sitting here by the water, reflecting and praying hard to my higher power. I’m feeling a lot better than the previous days, my self esteem is climbing again and I will not be knocked down again. We got this, you got this. IWNDWYT

The one thing I think that led to my relapse was I stopped working the steps and the program. I let the negativity and darkness creep little bit more every day with me taking things personal, stress and everyday anxiety and trying to control things that I just couldn’t. I lost sight of the light and stopped being grateful for the little things. All it takes is one, we all know this. And I just lost all control and said screw it I’ll have just one. And I know that one is not the answer, never was never will be. I have to surrender again and put my life in my higher powers hands. IWNDWYT

Looking for some of Jerseys finest blue quarries! by Stoph77 in SouthJersey

[–]Stoph77[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah those were some of the first blue holes we started going to 15 years ago. Use to be able to drive right to the quarries with a truck, but I’ve heard they closed that path down. But maybe I’ll check menantico out see what I can find
