This is my anniversary week. This was the last week of a very insane lifestyle. And it is also a very monumental time in my 12 Step recovery. This week, everyday I am going to share a brief description of that final week. And the gift that I found at the end of that week. ********************************...

I start this thread to share my experience, but would also like to hear more about how the rest of you came to believe in a higher power or your God and how that process unfolded for you.

Hi! I'm a 26 year old female. I have been sober for 6 months and 17 days. I haven't done drugs in 11 months.

When I started a new life in recovery, I only set what seemed to be two simple goals. The first one was to have a "boring" life. I had my fill of drama and nightmares.
